What is Museums Advocacy Day?

• Museums Advocacy Day is your chance to stand side by side with fellow advocates from your state and congressional district.
• Museums Advocacy Day is your chance to get valuable training and information about how to effectively engage with your representatives and make the case for museums.
• Museums Advocacy Day is your chance to share a powerful message with your Members of Congress and their staff members on Capitol Hill about policy issues affecting the museum field, and the ways your museum impacts your community.

In short, Museums Advocacy Day is your chance to join with advocates and colleagues from around the country and Speak Up for Museums!

Should I participate?
