JOIN US FOR THE

Fall Advocacy Days

2026 Registration is NOW OPEN!

Some event dates in October vary by region and by person. Please see the event description for more details.

Join us this Fall for our Fall Advocacy Days!

This year, IN PERSON advocacy is more important than ever!!  Make your voice heard this fall during BDCC’s Fall Advocacy Days!
 
If you’ve been interested in advocacy, but couldn’t make the trip to Sacramento, sign up today for Fall Advocacy Days to speak to the legislators IN PERSON close to where you live!  This is also an opportunity for seasoned advocates to meet in small groups with their representatives to have more time to talk about the issues  affecting our community.
 

If you are interested in meeting with your legislators, meetings will take place IN PERSON during the last week in October. Each person’s meetings will last a total of one to three hours, including travel time. You can choose which day or days of that week would work better for your schedule and whether mornings or afternoons are preferrable.  We will schedule one to three meetings maximum with your local legislators’ district offices and your member of Congress’ district office, close to where YOU live. 

If you are attending IN PERSON district office legislative meetings, we will have one MANDATORY training webinar (for all the regions) the Wednesday before meetings start.  This will prepare you for meeting your legislators IN PERSON in their district offices. In most cases, participants live less than 45 minutes away from their legislator’s district office!

Meet with your legislators, member of Congress and/or their staff IN PERSON at district offices, near where you live!
