AIBS Postpones Congressional Visits Day, Moves to Online Advocacy Events

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, AIBS has determined that the appropriate course of action at this time is to postpone the annual Congressional Visits Day scheduled for April 22. In the coming weeks, we will evaluate options for rescheduling the event for a time this fall.
We appreciate your flexibility and commitment to science-informed public policy. In the coming weeks, AIBS will be sharing opportunities to communicate with members of Congress through the online AIBS Legislative Action Center. We will also organize a “call-in” day - a coordinated event where participants will call members of Congress to express support for science.
Scientists, graduate students, educators, or other science community members who are interested in advocating for scientific research and education are encouraged to participate in these virtual efforts.
If you would like to participate in these efforts, please fill out the interest form available at https://www.aibs.org/public-policy/congressionalvisitsday.html
