Help save Wisconin's EFFIGY MOUNDS!

You may know that one of the no good very bad bills Republicans are pushing through our state legislature is one removing state protection for effigy mounds so a Dane County mining company can get to minerals beneath them.

Laws that give the desires of mining and other corporations precedence over the public good are not good for our state, the environment, and, ultimately the climate.

 The Ho-Chunk Nation is sponsoring a SAVE THE MOUNDS rally on Tuesday, January 12 in Madison. 

A bus will leave La Crosse Ho-Chunk Three Rivers House at 7:45 a.m.  Register for a place on the bus by emailing Mounds[at]Ho-Chunk.com

If you can't attend the rally, please SIGN THE PETITION and send (yet another) email or make a phone call to your representatives in state government. More information and background is here.
