Join us to prepare for a final push to register voters ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. With just over two weeks to the midterm voter registration deadline, this will be an opportunity to go over best practices for registering voters, collaborate on creative ways to reach new voters, and get energized for a final push in your communities.

Democracy work doesn't happen in a silo; it happens in relationship with other organizations, communities, and movements. This training is about what it means to be a good partner: showing up consistently, following the lead of impacted communities, and understanding when to lead and when to make space.

We'll walk through how coalitions function, what strengthens or erodes trust within them, and how our work connects to broader intersectional efforts across immigration, racial justice, and civil rights. The goal is to leave better equipped to build and sustain the kind of partnerships that make our advocacy stronger, and more accountable to the communities we serve.

Every address the Census Bureau misses in 2030 is a resident who may not be counted, and every undercount costs New Jersey federal funding and political representation for the next decade. LUCA (Local Update of Census Addresses) is the time window before the census when local governments can correct and update the Bureau's address list, and most municipalities aren't preparing for it yet.

This training breaks down what LUCA is, why the League is mobilizing around it now as part of our Census 2030 work, and why municipal governments can't afford to sit this one out. We'll cover what "being active in LUCA" looks like at the local level, and most importantly how you can push your own municipal government to designate a LUCA liaison, review its address list, and commit to participating before the window closes.

Want to use your voice to move the needle on a legislative campaign, but can’t always make it in-person to Trenton? Join us to learn some of the ways you can make a difference through strategic action. Learn how to craft an LTE or Op-Ed, craft testimony or public comment, and best practices for communicating an advocacy campaign. Work with League staff to take action on a priority campaign to build support for an issue you care about.

This training is perfect for anyone who is new to advocating for legislation or any veteran grassroots lobbyist looking for a refresher on how laws are made in the Garden State. Our trainers will provide an overview of the structure and powers of the New Jersey Legislature, explain how bills advance through each chamber, teach you how to research and track legislation, and let you know how you can start lobbying with the League.

Building off of our Introduction to the Legislative Process training, participants will take a deeper dive into New Jersey’s legislative process. How does policymaking actually work behind the sense? Where do NJ residents have the best chance to influence legislation? How do organizations like the League of Women Voters of New Jersey grow a policy campaign from an idea to law?
