With rapid changes and funding instability at the federal level, California’s leadership has never been more critical. Coordination among local, regional, and statewide leaders is urgently needed to ensure the sustainability of our state’s pioneering climate investments and the advancement of community-driven energy, climate, and land-use policies.
Policy Bridge will bring together diverse leaders to:
- Bridge the Local–State Policy Divide
Connect local leaders with state legislators, consultants, and agency directors to foster stronger communication and collaboration.
- Amplify Community Voice in Policymaking
Elevate the insights of local organizations and elected officials as essential partners with on-the-ground knowledge.
- Strengthen Local Policy Engagement Capacity
Provide education, tools, and strategies to build sustainable advocacy frameworks across regions and jurisdictions.
- Drive Actionable Policy Outcomes
Shape recommendations that address local needs, reduce barriers, and improve state–local coordination. - Launch an Ongoing Advocacy Ecosystem
Build durable coalitions and develop a policy playbook to support sustained and effective local engagement in state decision-making.
