There’s a disconnect in today’s advocacy landscape.
Advocates call it grassroots advocacy. Staffers call it constituent communication. Different sides of the same coin, working toward a shared civic goal. Yet, too often, advocates and legislative staff speak past each other.

It’s time to bridge that gap.
From Grassroots To Governing: A Conversation With Hill Staff brings top Hill staffers and advocacy leaders together for an off-the-record conversation on Capitol Hill on where these worlds intersect – and how they can work more effectively together.
We’ll explore the practical realities, uncover opportunities for smarter communication and highlight strategies that strengthen outcomes for constituents.
A networking reception will follow at the Tune Inn on Capitol Hill with your peers across advocacy, public affairs, and the legislature.
Space is limited and your invite is non-transferable.
