If you were not able to attend June’s Monthly Policy Forum, you can check out the recording and slides below. Reach out to [email protected] with any questions or if you need support in your state!

The theme of July’s Policy Forum was Fund FASD. We spent the hour discussing the case for investing in FASD and how advocates can make an impact by requesting meetings with their legislators.

Impact Week: September 27th-30th

Impact Week 2026 will be held September 27th through 30th at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City.

Impact Week is free to attend, and the Red Shoes Gala is the only paid event of the week. Click here to register for Impact Week!

If you are planning to join us, the most important step right now is to begin setting up your Hill Day meetings for September 29th. Once you have registered, reach out to your two Senators and one Representative to request meetings, and email [email protected] if you would like support. Log your Hill Day meetings here!

Hill Day

This year’s Hill Day will take place September 29th, just a few days before Members of Congress head home for a long recess. Hill Day, and the months leading up to it, provide advocates with an excellent opportunity to keep FASD on the agenda.

Getting ready comes down to three steps.
