The Legislative Learning Lab is a two-day experience designed to help nonprofit leaders, advocates, and community professionals better understand how government works, and how to engage with it effectively. Participants will gain an inside look at the political landscape in Oklahoma, from the history of state politics to the current priorities of legislative leaders. Through panels, discussions, and interactive sessions, the program explores how different levels of government connect to the Capitol, the role of media in shaping politics, and the importance of advocacy for nonprofits.

Across the two days, topics include:

• Conversations with state legislative leaders

• Understanding the state budget and its impact

• Working with government agencies and lobbyists

• Building coalitions and grassroots advocacy campaigns

• Key issues for nonprofits, including the Johnson Amendment and the 2030 Census

Whether you’re new to public policy or looking to strengthen your advocacy efforts, this program will equip you with practical knowledge, meaningful connections, and a clearer understanding of how nonprofits can influence and partner with government at every level. Join us!
