Using the addresses you provide\, we will schedule meetings with your respective legislators\, ensuring that you have meaningful interactions with key decisionmakers. Most participants will have three meetings\, including two Senate and one House meeting. \nLogistics\nTravel: Participants will travel to Capitol Hill together on the Metro. Please avoid bringing your luggage to the event. \nSecurity: Before attending the event\, please review the U.S. Capitol Police website for a list of prohibited items. There will be security lines at the entrances to the House and Senate office buildings. It is essential to allow time for potential security checks.
