June 2 - 2026 California Advocacy Day - 9:30 AM -4:00 PM

Location: UC Student and Policy Center - 1115 11th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814

California’s small businesses are navigating rising costs, limited access to capital, immigration enforcement, shifting federal policies, and inequitable entrepreneurial opportunities. At a time of uncertainty, ensuring support and protection for all entrepreneurs is critical to building a resilient, competitive economy.

The 2026 California Advocacy Day brings together community lenders, business support organizations, and small business leaders from across the state to elevate the issues that matter most. We’ll kick off the day with a keynote speaker who will offer timely insights into today’s policy landscape and what’s at stake for California’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Together, we’ll meet with state legislators at the Capitol to advocate for:

• Increased investment in small business technical assistance and capital access
• Strong support for responsible and transparent small business lending
• Expanded and equitable opportunities for childcare businesses and small grocers
• Policies that strengthen community reinvestment across California
• Protections for landscapers
• And more!

Our collective voice is essential to safeguarding and advancing the ecosystem we’ve built together. Join us in shaping policies that ensure California’s diverse small businesses can start, grow, and thrive in 2026 and beyond.
