Coordinating Media Advocates DC

The Coalition hosts a monthly meeting for media policy advocates who lobby in the public interest in Congress and at the FCC. The advocates use the meeting to update their colleagues on new developments, share key strategic information, and coordinate their strategies, both in the Capitol and at the grassroots.
