Since 2023, Main Street America programs have gathered in our nation’s capital to advocate for the needs of Main Street communities throughout the country. The Capitol Hill Day program includes education and networking for advocates, along with meetings with congressional offices. Main Street America will provide talking points and materials on relevant issues, but participants are also encouraged to share their own materials. Check out our information packet for more details on the event.
In our first two years, registration was by invitation only. In 2025, we invite all interested advocates to join us for this event. Register below to join us in Washington, D.C., as we advocate for a stronger Movement.
Please contact the Main Street America Government Relations team at advocacy@mainstreet.org with any questions.
Please register by December 15.
