We’re now launching the first Students Speak Out project on Citizens League’s own software platform – CitiZing! Youth and adults like you are coming together to inform the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (the DNR) about your experiences with Minnesota’s Parks and Trails as well as your ideas about how to spend the legacy funds (new tax dollars MN’s voted to specifically be targeted toward parks and trails in the 2008 election).
This will be a 5 week discussion, with one poll and discussion per week. The first discussion (up right now) will last 2 weeks. After all the discussions, a plan for spending the funds will be drawn up based on what we learn from you. You’ll have a chance to review and comment on the results, and then they’ll be submitted to the Minnesota Legislature!
Here’s how you get started (6 steps: about 15 minutes of your time):
1. Sign-up for CitiZing and customize your page.
2. Join the SSO DNR Project for teens: http://www.citizing.org/projects/ssodnr : Adults please join here http://www.citizing.org/projects/parkslegacy
3. Click on “Introduce yourself” and share one thing you love about Minnesota Parks and Trails.
4. Take the weekly quick poll: What milestones and markers will we (the DNR) reach in 3-5 years that show we're on the right path with the legacy funds?
5. Elaborate on your weekly quick poll answer in the weekly discussion.
6. Visit the SSO Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/studentsspeakout If you haven’t already, please “like” it. Facebook is a great way to stay informed as new polls and discussions come up.
Lastly, please help us spread the word. Please forward this email to your friends and family.
