LEGISLATION
Being able to pull the levers of power is an essential skill if one wants to make a difference in how society functions; however, thanks to layers upon layers of bureaucratic nonsense, pulling the levers is not only extremely difficult but also time intensive. The Legislative Branch of SAGE aims to make being an active member of the legislative process relatively easy by providing important information about current and past legislative action regarding climate change, sustainability, and environmental preservation.

Each year at UCLA, SAGE hosts Climate Action Night, where students groups present on current bills that are on the ballot in California or being pushed through the legislative process that are relevant to climate change, sustainability, and environmental preservation, in an effort to help educate voters.
