Joining Voices at Evening in Annapolis 2025

Evening in Annapolis is happening Monday, February 10. We’re so excited to be able to gather with the Joining Voices community and child care advocates from all across Maryland! We look forward to seeing you, whether you’ve done this many times or this will be your first time.

Scheduling meetings with state legislators
The event agenda says meetings with legislators are to take place between 4:30 and 6:30. Please make your appointments for time slots that suit your arrival schedule! Event hosts have provided tips for making appointments.

What should we bring?
Definitely bring your government-issued identification. This is required for entry to the buildings where Senators and Delegates do their work.

What should we wear?
It is really important to be comfortable. We will find ourselves spending time inside (where it could be quite warm) and outside walking between buildings (where it could be quite cold). Wear what you’d like to wear to a meeting, with comfortable shoes.

What should we say in our meetings?
Event organizers will share suggested talking points we can use in meetings with Delegates and Senators and their staff. You’ll bring those talking points to life with your experiences. What story do you want them to hear about the state budget and investing in (and not cutting) Child Care Scholarship dollars? What do you want them to do and why should they do it?

 

Thank you for being a part of this!
