DC Conference Day 3

Lobby Day! Having packed our bags, we left at 8:30 to get to our 8:30 meeting with Gabrielle at Rep. Keating's office.

The students gave an excellent presentation on why we care about these issues, and on our specific legislative asks - support for bills to address the issues in Syria and Yemen and Burma.

After the presentation, we were treated to a tour by Harwich alum, Tyler Nickerson, who is interning in the office.

TNick gave an awesome tour, knowing that there is no such thing as too much historical detail for our group. From there, we headed to lunch at the Senate Dining Hall - always a treat! We then had a 2pm meeting in Sen. Warren's office with Feras Sleiman (who we have met with more than any other staffer - four times?), and a 3pm meeting with Andrew Zack in Sen. Markey's office.

The students again impressed with their knowledge and commitment to these issues. After these meetings, we had time for a brief visit to the Library of Congress before heading to the Metro to get back to Crystal City.

We shuttled to the hotel to grab our bags, and then to the airport to catch our 7:30 flight to Logan, which was a bit delayed. After finally getting to Boston, we had to wait for the last P&B bus to the Cape, getting home around 1am. A long journey as always, but a great one!
