As public comment periods become shorter and proposals for mining, fossil fuel infrastructure, and other extractive projects increase, timely and informed public participation is more important than ever.

Join Water Protector Legal Collective for a practical training on how to write effective public comments that help protect water, Indigenous rights, and sacred sites. This training will explain how federal public comment processes work, why they matter, and how community members can submit substantive comments that become part of the administrative record.

Participants will learn how agencies use public comments, what makes a comment legally meaningful, and strategies for strengthening comments with legal, scientific, cultural, and community-based information. Whether you are new to public commenting or have participated before, this training will provide practical tools for engaging in environmental decision-making and supporting Indigenous-led advocacy.
