LOBBY DAY IS AUGUST 23, 24 mark your calendars!

The annual Lobby Day takes place Sunday and Monday August 23rd and 24th. You will be part of a team that will help Sierra Club California pass our priority bills during the most exciting and challenging time of the year at the State Capitol. You will have opportunities for interaction with other activists and our professional lobbying staff, as well as with legislators and their staff.

This is a two-day event. On Sunday afternoon our advocacy team will train you on how to lobby and brief you on our priority bills so that you can effectively advocate for them. On Monday, you will work the halls of the Capitol as teams, with meetings scheduled from morning through the afternoon. We will focus on key remaining bills as the session winds down; hot issues this year are renewable energy, water conservation, air quality, park protection and resilient habitats.

You will find out that it is possible to have fun and save our environment at the same time! Past participants have found it to be an eye-opening and rewarding experience. Participants should expect to pay some costs, but some travel and lodging reimbursements will be available, depending on location.
