JPAC Advocacy Day 2022

Advocacy Day is Back In Person for Our 50th Anniversary!

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 sarah@jpac-cal.org to discuss discounted rates.
