Advocacy Month

For the past five years, the California Charter Schools Association's (CCSA) Advocacy Day was held on a Tuesday during the first week in May to coincide with National Charter Schools Week. However, with new threats and powerful special interest groups working against charter public schools, one day is not enough.

April is a pivotal time in the legislative process when lawmakers make decisions on key legislation affecting charter schools in California. That is why CCSA has dubbed April "Charter Public Schools Advocacy Month." 

CCSA invited charter public school students, families, leaders and advocates to join us in Sacramento each Tuesday in April to advocate for bills that will significantly affect charter public schools because lawmakers listen to voters and community leaders from districts they represent. 

Registration is now closed.
