Enjoy Part 2 of Legislative Literacy where we chat with Alicia Falango of California Events Coalition.
Current legislation has been advocated on behalf of over 12 million event professionals yet many are unaware and quite frankly, illiterate on legislative knowledge in general.

Both mistrust and illiteracy will cause “it doesn't affect me” behavior, particularly with disenfranchised communities.
