The Most Important Thing You Can Do for the Boundary Waters: Become a Clean Water Delegate

Contactless: 

1. Download the DFL non-attendee form and add your personal information. Download the Prove It First resolution form and add your personal information. Please see “Reminders” below for additional information. Save both forms—be sure to save the form with your changes.
2. You now have two options to submit these two forms
   1. Email both forms to your organizing unit chair by January 29th. Your chair’s contact information can be found at www.caucus.dfl.org when you enter your address

OR, you may drop off the forms in person on February 1st

In person:
Print out the Prove It First Resolution form, and bring it to your caucus with you on the evening of Feb 1st. When the caucus organizers begin to talk about resolutions, you will read the Prove It First resolution aloud and the group will vote on it.

Note: If your caucus is “in person” there is still an option to submit a non-attendee form instead of going in person. If you’d like to do this option, follow the steps above for contactless caucusing. However, not attending in person may put you at a disadvantage for being selected to continue on to your senate district/ county convention and the state convention.

Reminders: 

• Please try to get as far in this process as you are able. Please select on your form that you would like to be a delegate for your organizing unit, county, and senate district. If you are attending in person, please let the organizer know that you would like to do this. The goal is to ultimately have as many Prove It First delegates as possible attend the state convention in May 2022.

Title: Prove It First

Be It Resolved That: The DFL party supports a moratorium banning copper-nickel sulfide mining in Minnesota’s watersheds until it is proven first to be safe in water-rich environments. This will protect some of America’s greatest treasures including but not limited to Lake Superior, the BWCAW, Voyageurs National Park, and the Mississippi River.

Supportive Points: -Copper-sulfide mining has never been done in Minnesota and has never been done anywhere without polluting.
-This industry is ranked as the most polluting in America for chemical releases by the EPA.
-Thousands of jobs depend on the clean water of NE MN.
