Event Details
Join the largest gathering ever of eating disorder advocates at the U.S. Capitol!
Advocacy Training and Lobbying The day begins with a light breakfast, followed by a fast-paced training to learn about the day's main talking points. Once at the Capitol, we work in small teams meeting with elected officials and their staff. No one will lobby alone! Lobby teams will arrive for each appointment at the Capitol, deliver a packet of eating disorders materials, and talk about how Congress can help. Most importantly, each team member can share how an eating disorder has changed her or his life.
Each EDC Lobby Day participant will receive a light breakfast, a lapel pin, an EDC Lobby Day packet, advocacy training, and transportation to the Capitol.
You MUST register in advance for the EDC Lobby Day in order for us to make appointments for you. Details will be sent to those who have registered.
