The goal for Congress Day is to give the Mason community and Northern Virginia residents an opportunity:

• To learn more about the policies and legislative proposals of Virginia’s U.S. Senators and NoVA US House members for the 118th Congress and 
• To tell their representatives and their staff what issues are most important them and how they might be best addressed

Congress Day 2023 will occur on April 24th between 8:45am and noon at the Hub Ballroom on the Fairfax Campus.

Activities in the front and rear of the Hub ballroom will include:

• 50 minute town halls with current and former congressional representatives discussing proposed bills for the 118th Congress;
• Special panel session on “Women in Politics”;
• Speed Roundtable discussions about legislation on key issues such as climate change, human rights, public safety, college affordability, and democracy.
• Opportunities to learn about the representatives, university programs, policy-focused research centers, and student groups

Students onAir @GMU, coordinators for this event, plans to have a Congress Day at a Mason campus every year and to facilitate Congress Days throughout the US.  All sponsor donations will go to these future events. To learn more about Mason students and alumni supporting democracy, go to this post.
