Baltic Advocacy Days 2024
April 8 – April 12 EDT
Join Estonians, Latvians Lithuanians, supporters and friends at this year’s Baltic Advocacy Days. Your voice matters, so be sure to participate in-person or via virtual meetings over Zoom. Registration deadline March 25.
Baltic Advocacy Days consists of meetings coordinated by the Joint Baltic American National Committee (JBANC) between constituents and offices of the United States Congress to further the ties between the U.S. and the Baltic states. Meetings typically last approximately 20 -30 minutes with a goal of at least two-three meetings per participant.
Virtual meetings will be scheduled from Monday to Wednesday, April 8 -10. In-person meetings will take place on April 11-12 (Thursday).
Our advocacy efforts for 2024 will be focused on these points:
• Security assistance to Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (Baltic Security Initiative, Foreign Military Financing, etc.)
• Ukraine security assistance necessary to help it defend itself against Russia
• Maintaining a strong NATO alliance and transatlantic relations
• Other Ukraine-related legislation
Helping defend Ukraine is to defend Baltic security, U.S. interests and democracy around the world. Anyone interested in strengthening U.S.-Baltic relations and advocating for transatlantic security is encouraged to register or at least reach out (contacts listed below) for more information. No prior knowledge is required, as talking points will be emailed to participants.
Registration is open for Baltic Advocacy Days! Now is the opportunity to make your voice heard and to help speak out on issues of interest and concern to the Baltic American community. 
Our advocacy this year will be focused on strengthening U.S. Baltic relations through the Baltic Security Initiative and ensuring Ukraine has the funding needed to defend against the Russian invasion.
