Pre-File Party: 2026 Legislative Preview

South Carolina state lawmakers are preparing to return to the State House after the new year, and so are we. Want to help us get ready, make some friends, and learn a little bit about how you can get involved in legislative advocacy? Gather with the ACLU of South Carolina for a 2026 Pre-File Party! We’ll review pre-filed bills, play advocacy games (including Legislative Bingo!), and connect over food and drinks as we prepare for the upcoming legislative session. In-person events will take place in Columbia and Greenville. A virtual option is also available. Please register in advance so we know how many people to anticipate.
