If you’re interested in legislative action promoting equity and access within education and want to advocate to legislators in-person, this event is for you!
Date: March 16-17
Registration Deadline: Monday, Feb. 23
You must be a current WACAC member to participate.
Book your hotel room at the Embassy Suites with our special link!
Please note: Attendees are responsible for booking their own room by Monday, Feb. 23. Rooms will not be guaranteed after this date.
On March 16, we’ll provide you with everything you need to know for advocating to lawmakers, starting with a California 101 legislative briefing to help you understand the process, timelines, budget, bills, and issues facing education in the state.
Once you’ve been briefed, it’s time to act! On March 17, you’ll get the chance to meet in-person with California legislators or their staff. You’ll have an opportunity to share your lived experiences helping students navigate high school completion, college access, the transition to higher education, and daily job duties.
Review the tentative agenda.
