  • Access to special events, member gatherings, and space-themed experiences for you and fellow members while you're in D.C.

Why participate?

Research (and recent experience!) has shown that in-person constituent meetings are the most effective way to engage elected officials on topics like space exploration. If you believe in an ambitious future of space exploration, this is the way to show it.

Do I need to be a member of The Planetary Society?

No, we welcome all space advocates dedicated to the goal of advancing the scientific exploration of space. However, we encourage those interested in getting more involved in our work to become members.

Do I need to be an experienced advocate?
