Can’t make it to D.C. for Capitol Hill Day?
NHPCO is bringing Hill Day to you!
Last year, more than 3,000 Hospice Advocates from around the country contacted their Members of Congress through NHPCO’s Virtual Hill Day. Our presence on the Hill was unquestionable – when the DC Hill Day participants arrived for their Congressional meetings, they were often greeted with, “We have been hearing from the folks at home all day.” To build on that resounding success, we are including Virtual Hill Day participants in more Hill Day activities and opening participation up to our Facebook, Twitter and YouTube fans!
Here’s what we have in store for VIRTUAL Hill Day 2010:
- The day will start with a pep rally at 8 a.m. E.S.T. on April 21, featuring remarks from Congressional hospice champions.That morning, we will send out a link for our Virtual Hill Day attendees to view and participate from home.
- After the pep rally, all you will need to do is set aside some time on April 21 to make a few toll-free calls to your federal representatives.
- Make sure you’re signed up for Hospice Advocate Action Alerts through our Legislative Action Center and/or you are a Hospice Action Network fan on Facebook.These are the only ways we will be sending out information on the morning of April 21 to Virtual Hill Day participants. See www.nhpco.org/advocacy for details.
- We will contact all Hospice Advocates by email through the Legislative Action Center and you can also find instructions the morning of April 21 on the Hospice Action Network Facebook page.
- You’ll receive the same talking points that attendees will use for their meetings in D.C.
- We’ll also provide you with a quick online feedback form so you can tell us about your Virtual Hill Day experience.
Mark your calendars for April 21
