Congressional Advocacy Day
March 10, 2027
- March 11, 2027
Washington, DC

Angelman syndrome advocates from around the United States meet in Washington, D.C. Day 1 is training for meetings and Day 2, advocates meet with their Members of Congress to educate them on their personal experiences with Angelman syndrome. These meetings help build relationship and bring awareness to AS. When lawmakers hear directly from advocates, Angelman syndrome stops being a rare disease on paper and becomes a person they remember when policy decisions are made.
