Post-Election Playbook: Advocating for Kids, Nature and Outdoor Learning
Wednesday, November 18, 2026, 3:00–4:00 PM EST
Elections shift the advocacy landscape—and the weeks that follow are a critical window to build relationships with new decision-makers.
Join the Children & Nature Network, NAAEE, OAK (Outdoors Alliance for Kids), and Nuestra Tierra for a post-election briefing built for the children and nature movement. We’ll cover a plain-language analysis of the election results, how and when to reach out to newly elected officials, emerging policy trends, and messaging strategies that resonate with your community.
You’ll leave with practical tools and real examples—from outdoor education funding wins to state-level climate literacy policy—to carry your advocacy forward.

Megan Fink (she/her), Partnerships and Policy Manager, NAAEE
