As JPAC’s premier annual event, Advocacy Day provides an empowering opportunity for California’s Jewish community members and allies to engage in the political process and advocate for a wide range of issues.
During this two-day gathering, you will:
- Hear from some of the state’s most powerful lawmakers and activists
- Practice and participate in direct lobbying
- Have access to exclusive networking opportunities with elected officials, Jewish organizational leaders, and lay leaders from across the state
No prior experience necessary.
*We want to ensure that financial constraints do not get in the way of your participation in Advocacy Day. If our registration rates are out of reach for you, please contact [email protected] to discuss discounted rates.
