This year, CVAQ and EHLWG are teaming up to pack a 2 day punch of Legislative Days.  These are a great opportunity to come learn about today’s pressing environmental heath and social justice issues, and advance your legislative skills. Seasoned activists who are on the forefront of the movements will be speaking on ways to get involved in advocating important issues in your community.

This is the perfect chance to connect one-on-one with your local representative in California’s legislature and discover how you can make your voice heard. Participants will have a chance to meet with statewide elected officials, learn how to generate more media around statewide legislation, and become more effective lobbyists. No experience is necessary, just an open mind and motivation for gaining a first-hand experience on policy issues.
