These GW Museum Education Program grad students were my delight this past semester. I’m so proud to see them advocate on Capitol Hill for the important role museums play in our communities. Each + every day they help make the world a better place! @GW_MESA #BeautifulInsideAndOut

In 2021, Senator Warren spoke at GWU's 1st post-pandemic commencement. She encouraged graduates to "get in the fight" to make presense felt in political arena. Here are MEPers readying to advocate for museums on Capitol Hill today! #MuseumsAdvocacy2023 #MuseumsAdvocacy @GW_MESA

Today, over 250 museum advocates are participating in Congressional meetings on Capitol Hill, helping to make the case for museums and sustain the future of our field.

📢 #MuseumsAdvocacy2022 is here!

We're joined by #museum advocates from across the nation to raise our collective voices and speak up for museums, which still face dire impacts from the pandemic, by urging members of Congress to support them in 2022 and beyond.

Prepping for @AAMers Museums Advocacy Day but catching up with some of the prerecorded sessions! From Strategic Storytelling: communicating your museum’s impact - “Data alone doesn’t move us. Sharing information is not the same as crafting a narrative.”

So much goodness during the "60 Ideas in 60 Minutes: Sizzling Ideas in Audience Engagement and Inclusion" session at #AAM2021.

Key takeaways: Museums must be anchors in their communities. Engage! Engage! Engage! Action, not loaded statements, speak louder than words.
