Freedom to Float Boaters Day at the Georgia Capitol
Join us at the State Capitol to talk to legislators about how passionate we are about our Freedom to Float on Georgia rivers!
Join us at 7:30 a.m. in CAP 216 as we host legislators for stop-by-breakfast and discussions. Following this informal meet-and-greet, we’ll gather at 8:30 for a 30-minute briefing from a panel of experts on river passage law in Georgia. With this information, you’ll be armed to meet with your individual legislators and educate them on the importance of protecting passage down all of Georgia’s streams that are capable of floating recreational watercraft. And, we’ll urge them to support our legislation that guarantees our right to float down such streams! Fact sheets and tips on talking to legislators will be provided!
Dress is business casual with your favorite PFD as an accessory! Optional informal tours in the Capitol Museum to see the two-headed calf and two-headed snake will also be available! Participate in our democracy and protect your Freedom to Float!
This event is FREE and open to anyone who is passionate about protecting outdoor recreation on Georgia’s rivers.
