The League of California Cities is a member-informed organization. By engaging and educating key decision-makers, we defend local control through advocacy in the Legislature, at the ballot box, and in the courts. We also offer engagement opportunities and education programs designed to teach city officials about new developments in their field and exchange solutions to common challenges facing cities. Together, we elevate Cal Cities as the leading voice for California cities.
