Accelerating Policy Change: New Locations & Dates

Catch up on our APC series!

We have exciting new updates on our Accelerating Policy Change (APC) series! We’ve added more locations for our in-person convenings, to reach communities across the country. We’ve also released our full list of webinar topics for the year, ranging from education access to rural prosperity. And we have some key updates on our Fresno convening, including a new date. Check out the updates below.

We hope you’ll join us at one or more events. Together, we can support resilient, thriving communities across the United States!

 

Webinar: Food Systems & Good Governance

Local and state changemakers have numerous policy options to support healthy food systems; even in our current political climate, we all have the power to act. On Thursday, May 1, at 11am PT / 2pm ET, join Supporting Thriving Food Systems Through Good Governance, the second webinar in our APC series, which will highlight innovative solutions to address complex challenges in food systems work.

Our webinar series is off to a great start! If you missed the first one, The Power of Local & State Solutions, watch the recording. Other upcoming webinars in the series will focus on access to quality health care and education, elements of a healthy community, and advancing rural prosperity.

 

Convening: California’s Central Valley

To better support changemakers in the Central Valley who wish to attend our Fresno convening, we’ve changed the date to Wednesday, May 21. And in recognition of the financial pressures that many of our partners are facing, we’ve reduced the cost to $15 and are also offering scholarships.

With these changes in mind, register for Accelerating Policy Change in California's Central Valley for a strategic opportunity to deepen your legal and policy skills and network with peers to support thriving communities. We hope to see you there!
