Webinar recording: Leveraging the Law: The power and promise of legal action in Minnesota right now

The rule of law is central to protecting Minnesota’s environment and defending the health of our people. Watching it be eroded and sometimes outright ignored by the current federal administration has understandably raised questions and concerns for many about its limits moving forward.  But seeing judges, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office, and civil society wield the rule of law in powerful and critical ways only underscores its importance at this pivotal moment for our democracy.  Watch this recording to learn from legal experts dedicated to using the courts to protect the public as they break down what’s happening, unpack ways in which the rule of law is at risk, discuss how and why it still matters, and share what you can do to help protect it.
