About Day 1
June 2, 2026 is Day 1 of our two-day event which includes a conference and a lobby day in Sacramento. You’re welcome to attend either day or both. We encourage you to join us for both days if you’re able, as they are designed to build on one another. On Day 1, you will learn about the key issues we’ll be advocating for. Then, on Day 2 (June 3) we will walk through how to lobby before heading into meetings at the Capitol.
