On the day prior to the IRF Summit, we will convene a special day dedicated to advocacy and activism on Capitol Hill. We request all convening organizations to schedule appointments on Capitol Hill during Advocacy Day, either virtually or in person, around issues affecting their respective causes. Each convening organization is encouraged to organize their own appointments and meetings and to set whatever agenda for those meetings they feel appropriate relating to their own community. Separate from that agenda, we request each convening organization to share the following points affecting the broader international religious freedom community.

To mark the IRF Summit—and as a culmination to Congressional Advocacy Day—we will once again hold a short program on Capitol Hill that will feature 2-3-minute testimonials of international religious freedom community leaders representing persecuted faith communities speaking on behalf of each other. We expect to hear from members of Congress during the event. The side event will feature remarks and observations by Co-Chairs Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett and Sam Brownback.
