Demystifying Advocacy in Annapolis

Join us in Annapolis on Tuesday, October 27 for an interactive, off-session deep dive into state level influence. Learn how power flows through state government, discover how legislative policies are built from the ground up, and gain actionable tools to advocate for your community year-round.

What You’ll Learn:

• Inside the Advocacy Toolkit: Hear directly from CDN members about real-world tactics—from crafting impactful sign-on letters to delivering in-person testimony before committee members.
• Community Education: Understand how legislative leverage works when the General Assembly is not in session—when lawmakers have the time to listen, discuss, and refine policy ideas.
• Year-Round Engagement: Learn practical, scalable ways to keep your community's housing and economic needs top-of-mind for elected officials.

Whether you are an organizer, housing developer, non-profit leader, or engaged resident, this session will give you the confidence to make your voice heard in Annapolis.
