Conference attendees are encouraged to join these meetings as they are a good opportunity to connect with other supporters and to learn more about advocacy. Our team will take care of scheduling meetings with your U.S. Senators and/or Representatives’ offices. To join these meetings, please fill out this application. Once approved to participate, you will receive more information including an advocacy toolkit and an invitation to join an Advocacy Training Session designed to prepare you to speak confidently and effectively about the issues that matter most to the Coptic community.

Launch Event for CoptWatch
This interactive event will introduce attendees to Coptic Solidarity's newest project, CoptWatch. CoptWatch is an open-source, public database that aims to record incidents of anti-Coptic hostilities in the last few years. This event features a presentation on the database, an audience demonstration of how data is collected and recorded, and a conversation on the importance of incident documentation to advocacy.
