Baltic Advocacy Week
Mission
Help protect Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania through meetings with Congressional staff.
DEADLINE EXTENDED! We have extended the deadline to sign up to March 1. However, due to logistics with scheduling, we may be offering alternative ways of participating during advocacy day like giving a script to call your Members of Congress or by inviting you to listen in to meetings with the chairs of the House Baltic Caucus and Senate Baltic Freedom Caucus.
Goals
- Increase size of House Baltic Caucus & Senate Baltic Freedom Caucus
- Provide more funding for military support
- Garner support for the Transatlantic Telecommunications Security Act
Details
- UPDATE: Meetings will be scheduled during business hours between March 8-12
- Format: Zoom or conference call, depending on staffer preferences
- Participants may be asked to join meetings for Congressional Offices that do not represent them
- Please note that there will be a limited number of constituent meetings - other ways to participate will be made available.
Preparations
- We'll make the script, an issue one-pager, & more, which we'll pass along later. All issues are currently described on Baltivist for members
- A training will be hosted via Zoom closer to Baltic Advocacy Week
- Even if you don't know anything about the issues or anything about Congress - that's ok! Even if you want to just come, but not speak, that's ok too!
