Why attend? Make Your Voice Count

The most proven way to create political change is to meet with Congressional offices in Washington. JBANC provides the information and organizes the meetings. The only thing we require is your participation!

  • Meet one-on-one with your congressional representatives to highlight the strategic importance of Baltic security and advocate for a strong U.S.–Baltic partnership in countering Russian aggression.

  • Connect with Latvians, Estonians, and Lithuanians who share a commitment to Baltic security and strengthening transatlantic ties through coordinated advocacy.

  • Celebrate the Baltic diaspora alongside policymakers and stakeholders in Washington who are actively engaged in building and sustaining a resilient U.S.–Baltic relationship.

No experience? No Problem

No prior advocacy experience is required to take part in Advocacy Days.  JBANC provides guidance and support throughout the entire process.

  • Pre-Meeting Policy Education: Expert-led sessions prepare participants with context on the most critical Baltic security topics.

  • Detailed Briefing Materials: Participants receive concise briefing papers to ensure they are well prepared and aligned on key messages.

  • In- Meeting Expert Support: Each meeting is supported by a subject-matter expert who helps guide the discussion and reinforce key policy priorities.

Advocacy Days Agenda

Day 1 focuses on learning and networking, while Days 2 and 3 center on direct engagement with congressional leaders.

  • Day 1 - Learning and Networking: Panel discussions, training sessions, and networking opportunities with Washington, D.C.–based stakeholders and fellow advocates, designed to prepare participants for effective congressional engagement.

  • Days 2 & 3 – Direct Advocacy: Structured meetings with congressional offices and advocacy-focused receptions centered on Baltic security.

Please note, training and reception locations are typically confirmed approximately two weeks before Advocacy Days, and meetings with congressional offices are finalized one week prior. Once confirmed, detailed schedules are emailed to all participants.
