Capitol Hill Advocacy Days
Capitol Hill Advocacy Days are designed to give our clients an opportunity to take their message directly to Congress. Active Policy Solutions orchestrates these days, including training constituents on how to advocate, arranging meetings with Members of Congress, organizing the days and schedule, and coordinating follow-up from legislative meetings. Some examples include:
- Coordinated multiple Hill Days for the National Guard Youth Foundation between 2021 and 2025. For the 2025 Hill Day, APS led meetings for 60 of the organization’s representatives with 24 offices of Members of Congress, including six Members themselves.
- Organized a Hill Day for Outdoor Afro in 2025, in which APS led meetings for 24 of the organization’s representatives with 24 Congressional offices, including two Members themselves. This event also included a reception on Capitol Hill for Outdoor Afro to honor the work of Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA).
- On behalf of the National Council of Youth Sports (NCYS), coordinated a Virtual Hill Day during Youth Sports Week through live video meetings with 25 Members Offices.
- Members of NASPA, Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education, participated in a Hill Day coordinated by APS in conjunction with their Annual Conference to discuss important matters relating to higher education, such as reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (HEA), free speech on campus, international student access to US colleges, and sexual assault prevention and response by colleges.
