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
