About this event
As California navigates a shifting budget landscape, a hostile federal administration, and the impact of recent ballot measures, 2025 promises pivotal decisions. Join us for Dollars and Democracy, our premier state budget training, followed by an in-depth conversation with expert advocates and budget insiders to help you engage effectively and amplify your cause in Sacramento.
Whether new to advocacy or a seasoned veteran, this training offers valuable insights. Our Budget Director, Scott Graves, will guide you through California’s budget process, highlighting key deadlines and the essential roles of the governor, the Legislature, and advocates in driving community investments.
Next, a discussion panel of budget and election experts will share practical advocacy tools and insights on what to expect in 2025.
