Join us for a one-day, high impact event mobilizing you and scores of fellow PAA members to advance on Capitol Hill, meet with Members of the U.S. Congress and their staff, and advocate on behalf of PAA legislative priorities. With issues such as the 2020 Decennial Census, funding for the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation and others on the agenda, we can’t afford to waste an opportunity to connect PAA members arriving in Washington, DC with their congressional representatives.

Advocacy Counts 2020 takes place on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, prior to the official start of PAA 2020. Registration is free but pre-registration is required. We will kick off with a welcome breakfast at the meeting hotel, which will include a training and information session, and then depart for a full day of meetings on Capitol Hill. Each participant will receive a customized schedule (and a handy mobile app!) tailored to cover your congressional representatives, and participants will team up with other PAA members who come from the same state and/or congressional district. Leave the planning and logistics to us! All you need is your enthusiasm, your commitment to advancing population science…and a sturdy pair of shoes.

Following a full day of advocacy, come back to the hotel and enjoy some well-earned food and libations at the Welcome Mixer!

U.S. citizens only, please.
