Broadband Day on the Hill: April 12th, MN State Capitol

A message from the Minnesota Rural Broadband Coalition

Please join the Minnesota Rural Broadband Coalition and your fellow broadband advocates from across the state for our Day on the Hill event! The Day on the Hill provides you with an opportunity to participate in St. Paul for a day of broadband advocacy and networking with colleagues and legislators.
It is a great chance for you to speak with legislators directly about why increased access to broadband will improve the lives of Minnesotans.
