With ENACT Day right around the corner, the ENACT Planning Team has everything you need to make the most of the day.
There’s one day left to register for ENACT Day. Join advocates from across the state in Sacramento on May 29 to advocate for a healthy, equitable California! ENACT Day is a great opportunity for community coalitions, grassroots organizers and advocates to develop and exercise policy advocacy skills. Attendees will:
• Learn about proposed legislation to improve access to healthy food and safe physical activity
• Participate in trainings from communications and advocacy experts on how to share your success stories and provide non-partisan education to policymakers and the media
• Join a rally and media event for a healthier, more equitable California on the Capitol steps
• Meet with your legislators or their staff about your community’s health issues and priorities
• Network with community health advocates from across the state
Spanish translation and accommodations for people with disabilities will be provided. Breakfast and lunch will be available for all, including those with dietary restrictions.
Registration closes Friday, May 16, and space is limited, so sign up today!
