Catalyst to the Capital

Each year, we organize a three-day trip to Tallahassee called Catalyst to the Capital. During this trip, community members, staff, and partners meet face-to-face with elected officials to advocate for policies that are most important to our communities. Participants of Catalyst to the Capital receive training on the legislative process and put their advocacy skills into action.

Catalyst to the Capital will take place Tuesday, April 1 to Thursday April 3, 2025. The three-day trip includes travel to and from Tallahassee, hotel, meals, as well as trainings and activities. A $50 check will be held in deposit for participation and will be voided after the trip.

If you are an elected official and would like to participate, please contact Anaruth Flores at [email protected].

Become a Fellow

Being a C2C Fellow provides an opportunity to advocate on behalf of yourself, your family, and your community.

This experience also provides space to interact with government officials in Miami and Tallahassee, joining a network of activists and committed community leaders with a shared interest in improving the well-being of Miami-Dade residents.

The time commitment for fellows is attendance on the Catalyst to the Capital trip & participation in all Fellow training in late 2024 & early 2025.
