Why we gathered
Leading California Forward
Cosmopolitics 2026 brought our community together around public leadership, fiscal stewardship, opportunity and California’s future
For SBWPC, the afternoon also reflected a larger purpose — turning feminist values into participation, leadership and action, and expanding women’s access, voice and power
