About this event
As California faces a projected budget deficit, a presidential election, and consequential ballot measures, it is clear that 2024 will be a year of profound significance for Californians and our state’s future. To empower you to navigate this critical year ahead and make your voice heard in Sacramento, we invite you to our premier “Dollars and Democracy” state budget training.
Whether this is your first cycle or you are a seasoned pro, you’ll learn something new as our budget expert, Adriana Ramos-Yamamoto, walks you through California’s budget process, including key deadlines and the roles of the governor, the Legislature, and advocates in advancing and protecting investments for our communities.
Plus, learn insider tips on practical advocacy tools and what to expect in 2024 from our discussion panel of budget and election mavens.
