However, your attendance would bolster our advocacy efforts. From our action center, you can send a message to the Mayor and city councilors. Click here to go to our action center.

Good news! The 148th Fighter Wing is not on the Base Realignment & Closure Committee’s list. According to a reliable source in the military, the 148th is cautiously optimistic that their mission will remain in Duluth. Thank you to those who participated in the Military Affairs Task Force’s “Save the Base” campaign.
Unfortunately, the Navel Reserve Center is on the list and may be closed. However, it is somewhat unclear if their mission might be changed making them once again viable.
