Time is almost up to sign up for SCA's Lobby Day, March 24.  We need a few days to set up your meetings so the registration deadline is Sunday, March 19. 

__________

 
Join us on Capitol Hill to meet with your members of Congress and staff to discuss issues and legislation that matter to SCA and the secular community. We will be advocating for the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act because the Supreme Court has been the biggest obstacle to church-state separation lately. This bill is a significant step towards removing the veil of secrecy around the court and establishing a code of ethics like the lower courts have had for years.  

We will begin with a reception in the Rayburn House Office Building from 6-8 pm on March 23, with a legislator or two dropping by. On the 24th we will fan out across Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers and staff on legislation and to ask them to join the Congressional Freethought Caucus. SCA will provide breakfast and lunch in The Gold Room in the Rayburn Building, which will serve as our headquarters for the day. We schedule the meetings for you, go over everything in advance in a webinar, and provide talking points. 



Who can do this? Anyone. No lobbying experience is required. No one expects you to be an expert on policy or the legislative process. You just need to explain how recent Supreme Court decisions can affect people like you. You will go to meetings in groups of 3-5, depending on how many people we have from each state, and we will have an experienced Lobby Day veteran in each group. We will also have several government affairs people from our coalition members there to attend some of the meetings with people.  

Ready to attend? Click here to register and provide the information we need for scheduling your meetings. The registration and meals cost is $90, or $45 for students. 

Our block of hotel rooms is full but there are many hotel options near Capitol Hill and on the subway lines that stop at Capitol South (the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines).

Questions? Email [email protected]. No questions? Then we hope to see you on March 23-24.
