About Policy Insights

The California Budget & Policy Center‘s conference — Policy Insights — opens avenues for more Californians to participate in public policy through accessible, intersectional, people-first, equity-centered, data-driven information.

The goal of Policy Insights is to support the advancement of equitable narratives and solutions in the public policy landscape in collaboration with leaders across the state. We provide public education, issue area and budget expertise, and opportunities for shared learning on timely issues, best practices, innovative solutions, and lessons learned. This includes elevating the voices, experiences, and work of those most directly impacted by public policies.

Policy Insights aims to strengthen and build relationships across multiple audiences (advocates, decision influencers, decision-makers, philanthropic leaders) who want to create more equitable public policies.
