Advocacy day
What does advocacy day mean?
An advocacy day, also called a fly-in or Hill day, is a coordinated day when an organization's members meet with their legislators about a specific issue, usually timed to a vote, deadline, or session.
Why it matters for advocates
The format concentrates dozens of meetings into one day, with teams organized by state or district so constituents sit across from their own representatives.
The preparation determines the value: one clear ask, teams with local voices, a tailored one-pager for every office, and follow-up within days. The meetings are the visible part. The prep and follow-through are the work.
