On Wednesday, February 11, 2026, NAZCCA is joining Sierra Club (Grand Canyon Chapter) and other environmentally conscious groups descending on the Arizona State Capitol for the annual Environmental Day at the Capitol. Meet with your legislators, hear from great speakers, and connect with others who are doing advocacy work both inside and outside the Arizona Legislature. This year’s theme, “People Power for the Planet,” isn't just a slogan—it’s a direct challenge to the status quo in a year where our legislative choices will define Arizona’s climate future.


From the ongoing water crisis to the record-shattering heatwaves of last summer, our state is at a breaking point. We know the solutions: clean energy, environmental justice for our frontline communities, and robust water protections. But these solutions won't happen if we don't look our legislators in the eye and remind them who they actually serve.

  • What: A day of high-impact lobbying, powerful keynote speakers, and a massive show of solidarity in the House and Senate galleries.
  • When: Registration Opens Wednesday, Feb 11, 2026 | 8:30 AM
  • Where: Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza, 1700 W Washington St, Phoenix
  • Speaker Program: 9:30 AM – 11:45 AM
  • Sit the Galleries: 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM
  • Throughout the Day: Meet with your legislators, informational tables, and opportunities for action
