Making Every Dollar Count for Our Kids

Come make YOUR voice heard! On March 12th, CSDA will host its Annual Legislative Day! A legislative day is a dedicated event where organizations, like CSDA, meet with lawmakers and their staff to build relationships and educate them on critical issues. These events are powerful opportunities to advocate directly for the policies and initiatives that matter most to our mission. 

Sometimes called advocacy days, fly-ins, Hill days, or advocacy summits, legislative days all serve the same purpose: bringing constituents—whether from trade associations, nonprofits, or advocacy groups—to meet face-to-face with legislators at the state capitol or in Washington, D.C. For CSDA, this means representing the voice of child support professionals and advocating for the needs of children and families in California. 

Legislative days allow us to: 

• Humanize the Issues: By sharing real stories and experiences from the families we serve, we make the impact of child support policies tangible. 
• Build Stronger Relationships: Establishing a personal connection with lawmakers strengthens their understanding of our mission and helps ensure continued collaboration. 
• Advocate for Key Policies: With preparation and strategy, we can push for more in-depth discussions that lead to meaningful policy changes rather than introductory conversations.

This is your chance to be a voice for CSDA, your peers, and the families you serve. Participating in legislative day strengthens our collective voice and helps us achieve the legislative outcomes that matter most. 

Stay tuned for more details on how you can get involved in CSDA’s upcoming legislative day. Let’s make an impact together!
