Harrisburg, PA

Register today to join PA AAP members, leadership and staff in Harrisburg on May 2nd, 2023 for our annual PA AAP State Advocacy Day! Members of the PA AAP are invited to join a delegation of Chapter members who are heading to the State Capitol Building for meetings with legislators, where we will advocate for critical juvenile justice reform legislation. 

Organized by PA AAP Advocacy Committee Co-Chairs Drs. Gabriel Cisneros, Toni-Richards-Rowley, and Karen Wang, PA AAP's Annual State Advocacy Day will consist of the following tentative agenda:

8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: Breakfast and Tips for Meetings with Legislators / Legislative Meeting Roleplay

9:00 AM - 3:00 PM: Meetings with Legislators 

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Press Conference on the Front Capitol Steps 

Lunch: At Leisure 

We hope you will join us in our fight to create a fairer juvenile justice system for Pennsylvania's youth! 

Information on our juvenile justice policy goals and materials to prepare you for your meetings with legislators will be disseminated in the coming weeks. 

Once you register for Advocacy Day, Chapter staff will attempt to schedule meetings with your State Representative and State Senator. To ensure that we schedule your meetings with the correct legislators, you should input the address at which you are registered to vote when you submit your event registration. If you are not registered to vote in PA, please enter your current home address. If you live out-of-state but practice in Pennsylvania, please input your work address. 

If you have any questions about Advocacy Day or our legislative priorities, please reach out to PA AAP Advocacy and Communications Coordinator Aubrey D'Angelo at [email protected],org.
