From January through April your Riverkeepers are active in Annapolis — writing bills, testifying, and meeting with state representatives on legislative issues that affect our Eastern Shore waterways. Our efforts are supported by ShoreRivers' Advocacy Volunteers, who — in sharing their voices and their stories — make a tremendous impact on our legislators as they get to hear directly from their communities and constituents.

On December 9, at 6pm, we will host our first Volunteer Advocacy Training. In this training, we will provide updates on the budget, share ShoreRivers’ leadership and priority legislation, and find ways to take action. This training is required for all Advocacy volunteers, even if you participated in previous years.
