Legislation Conference

 

Transform your passion into policy. Your voice into change. Your advocacy into action.

The mission of the California State PTA is to positively impact the lives of all children and families. As the largest volunteer advocacy association working exclusively on behalf of all children, we invite you to join fellow PTA advocates in California’s capital for two transformative days of legislative training and direct advocacy.

This isn’t just a conference—it’s your opportunity to become part of the solution. Every child deserves safety, health, and educational excellence. Every family deserves a voice in the policies that shape their future.

Why LegCon26 Matters

LEARN from legislative experts, elected officials, and seasoned advocates about the issues affecting California’s children, youth and families—from educational equity and school safety to mental health support and family engagement.

CONNECT with passionate advocates from across the state who share your commitment to creating positive change for all children.

ACT by meeting directly with your state legislators on Tuesday afternoon to advocate for policies that will improve the lives of children and families in your community and beyond.
