Want to make your voice heard beyond the conference room?

Day One of LINC 2027 kicks off with Legislative Advocacy Day, a half-day convening designed to help community leaders, advocates, and CVI practitioners understand how policy change happens and how to influence it.

We'll move from Legislation 101 to coalition building and action planning, exploring policy opportunities around juvenile justice, reentry, resentencing, and support for Washington's CVI workforce.

Because community safety isn't just built on the ground. It's shaped in policy, too.
