Quest for Democracy 2026

Real change happens when directly impacted people shape the laws that govern our lives. This workshop breaks down the basics of legislative advocacy—how bills move, where power sits, and how communities can organize to influence policy at every stage. From committee hearings and budget fights to coalition strategy and public testimony, participants will learn practical tools for turning lived experience into political power. Whether you're new to the Capitol or building long-term campaigns, this session is about reclaiming advocacy as a collective tool for liberation.
