Join us in Sioux Falls for a practical, people-centered training designed to help you influence state and local policy, engage directly with your lawmakers, and find your voice in the halls of power. Whether you're new to advocacy or looking to deepen your skills, this training breaks down the process step-by-step. You’ll leave feeling confident, prepared, and supported as you take action on the issues that matter most to you and your community. There’s never been a more important time to speak up.
