Advocacy

CalCAPA is dedicated to increasing resources and opportunities to all our local agencies so that you can better carry out your mission. One crucial way we do this is through our advocacy efforts.

CalCAPA is here to raise public awareness towards problems you and your community are facing. We educate and inform state legislators, stakeholders, and the general public on issues that impact your communities.
