You are invited to join us on June 17 for our 3rd annual Advocacy Day in over a decade!
This interactive event runs from 9am - 4:30pm, including lunch and a light breakfast. Optional no-host happy hour following our legislative visits.
The 2026 program includes presentations from Joanne Brasch, Director of Advocacy and Outreach, California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) and Krystal Raynes, Policy Associate, Californians Against Waste (CAW), and more.
Topics include legislation basics, EPR and how to lobby effectively. We’ll also go over NCRA’s priority bills for the day and “role play” practice meetings with legislators and their staff. After lunch we’ll have meetings with legislative staff members or perhaps legislators!
Visit our Legislative Tracker for a brief overview of what's on our radar.
Let us know who your legislators are. You can look up yours here:
