COME TO THE CAPITOL
TO PROTECT CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE!

August 25th is Lobby Day in Sacramento

Lobby Day provides activists with an opportunity to talk with legislators and their staff about the Sierra Club's statewide priorities and specific legislation that is pending before the Senate and Assembly.

We will also conduct a training session in political effectiveness the day before Lobby Day, on the afternoon of Sunday, August 24th. The training will give you the skills to become an effective lobbyist with elected officials both in Sacramento and at home.

This year, we anticipate our topics to include electronic waste disposal, forest protection, land use and air quality.

Sierra Club California will provide dinner Sunday, August 24th, as well as breakfast on Monday. Accommodations will be arranged and participants will be reimbursed up to $100 for travel expenses.
