What to Expect & Why Lobby Day MattersLobby Day, which will take place on the final day of the Summit for Religious Freedom (SRF), is an exciting and rare opportunity for participants to have face-to-face conversations on Capitol Hill with everyone from congressional staff to members of Congress about the importance of church-state separation! This is an awesome opportunity to share your own personal story about why this issue is so important to you and increase members of Congress understanding and support of our mission. Research overwhelmingly shows that one of the most effective ways to build or increase support for the issues you care about with your elected official is to meet with them and their staff in their office.
During our inaugural Lobby Day in 2020, supporters like you attended meetings with members of Congress, including U.S. Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), David Price (D-NC), Marc Pocan (D-WI), and Danny Davis (D-IL). We had 104 total lobby meetings with members and staff. |
What should we do to prepare?No need to prepare anything just yet! Closer to Lobby Day, we will prepare some things to read, answer any questions you may have, and share information about our training.
