Advocacy Day

Save the Date: April 10

Open to all PAA Members who are registered to vote in the U.S. 

As part of the PAA 2025 Annual Meeting, you can participate in Advocacy Day -- a day when population scientists have the opportunity to meet with their congressional delegation. The purpose of these meetings will be to share examples of population research activities and advances and express support for the Federal government agencies that directly and indirectly support the population sciences, including the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, U.S. Census Bureau, and other statistical agencies.

Training and materials will be provided. You will need to be available in Washington, DC on Thursday, April 10 until approximately 3:00pm ET.
