Those who applied for scholarships will be notified next week about funding decisions.
Scholarship awardees and others are encouraged to register as soon as possible and before the April 8 date, when registration costs will increase.
You can register for DC Days at https://ananuclear.org/dc-days-registration/
People that tried to register between March 8 and 20th were unable to do so. But the registration process is working again. If you have not received a registration confirmation, you are not registered!
The registration costs are: $150 early bird registration (by April 8) for those self-identified as under 30 or BIPOC or frontline communities; $225 regular registration by April 8. After April 8 the costs increase to $200 for those under 30 or BIPOC or frontline communities; and $350 regular registration.
Housing.
ANA has secured some beds at Friends Place, 515 E. Capitol St, SE (just four blocks from Capitol Hill). A number of scholarship awardees will be staying there. Available beds are bunk beds on upper floors. For those interested, the beds are $50 per night, so that’s lower cost than many other options. If you are interested in having a bed, please let me know as soon as possible, as they will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. You can see more about Friends Place at: https://www.friendsplacedc.org/
DO NOT contact Friends Place about reservations, as reservations are done through ANA.
Orientation.
On Wednesday, May 21 at 8 ET, 7 CT, 6 MT, 5 PT there will be a virtual orientation. All first time participants should plan to attend! People who have previously attended DC Days are also welcome. The orientation will cover all aspects of DC Days, including logistics, the issues on which we’ll be lobbying, as well as time for questions and answers.
Sunday Training.
Please arrive in DC by Saturday, June 7, in order to attend the all-day training on Sunday, June 8, starting at 9 am at the United Methodist Building, 100 Maryland Ave, NE (where we had the training in 2023 and 2024). Team meetings will be Monday, June 9 through Wednesday, June 11 with congressional and administration officials.
