Baltic Advocacy Days 2026
The Joint Baltic American National Committee (JBANC) will host the 9th annual Baltic Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C., from March 16 – 18, 2026. During Advocacy Days, Baltic Americans and friends of the Baltics meet with their congressional offices to support strengthening the U.S.–Baltic security relationship and curbing Russian aggression. Advocacy Days is not only an opportunity to inform congressional offices about the importance of Baltic security issues, but also a celebration of the Baltic diaspora and the policy stakeholders in Washington who work to build a strong U.S.–Baltic relationship.
No advocacy experience is required to take part in Advocacy Days. Before meetings, participants will have the opportunity to join panel discussions and briefings on the most pertinent security issues in the Baltic region. Participants are also invited to receptions and networking opportunities that bring together our communities and celebrate Baltic culture.
Registration will open in the first week of January. Sign up for the Baltic Call to Action Unit in the bio for the latest advocacy updates.
We look forward to welcoming you all to Washington!
