National Grassroots Legislative Conference 2027

March 19-23rd, Washington

LegCon 2027: A New Deal for Higher Education

Join the U.S. Student Association in Washington, DC, March 19–22, 2027, for the Grassroots Legislative Conference (LegCon). Open to all full-time college students, LegCon brings students together to build organizing skills, connect across campuses, and advocate for a higher education system that meets our needs. After the midterm elections, we’ll turn voter engagement into sustained student power and hold elected leaders accountable.

Students shape this conference. Our planning survey is open October 14–November 11, 2026, inviting your input on issues, trainings, and speakers. LegCon’s legislative priorities are chosen by our student leaders on the National Student Action Council, grounding our advocacy in the needs of students across the country.

Conference registration opens December 1, 2026, and closes February 1, 2027. Hotel details and booking information will be shared here.

As a USSA practice, we survey students before the conference to learn which issues, trainings, and speakers you want to see. Your feedback directly shapes the LegCon 2027 agenda, workshops, speakers, and overall experience. This conference is built with students, and your voice belongs in that process.
