2026 ASLA Virtual Advocacy Day

The landscape architecture profession has never been more relevant to the policy conversations shaping our communities, infrastructure, and environment — and right now, the stakes are especially high. With Congress preparing to consider legislation that could eliminate key federal funding programs for active transportation, trails, and community infrastructure, it's critical that landscape architects are represented in these conversations.

Now is the time to make sure Congress hears from you.

ASLA's Virtual Advocacy Day returns on July 22, offering members a powerful — and convenient — opportunity to meet with congressional offices, all from your home or office.

Registration is free — down from $99 — thanks to the generous support of our industry partners, including Victor Stanley, USA Shade, and more, who have underwritten the full cost to make this opportunity accessible to every member. Spots are limited to the first 140 participants, so register early to secure your place.

Registered participants receive a comprehensive advocacy experience designed to take you from design to action:

• Meet with two congressional offices through a centralized scheduling and materials platform
• Prepare with two targeted advocacy trainings to sharpen your message and build confidence
• Advance two priority issues using ready-to-use toolkits, including talking points and professional leave-behinds

Whether you're a seasoned advocate or attending for the first time, ASLA provides everything you need to make a meaningful impact on the policies that matter most to our profession.

Registration is NOW OPEN — deadline to register is June 21. Don't miss this opportunity to represent landscape architecture at the highest levels of government.
