Thanks to the #power of #advocacy the Leahy–Smith America Invents Act was passed by #Congress & signed into #law by @BarackObama. Years later that law helped me afford #patent fees & I became an #inventor! #magnoliatree #Mississippi #MagnoliaChristmasTree facebook.com/6508114/posts/1… – at Washington, DC

Such an important issue and timely solution! #AdvocacyBlueprints is happy to endorse and support this effort to allow permanent remote internships in #Congress.
I’m calling on the House to allow interns to continue working remotely after the pandemic. This flexibility opens Congressional internships up to communities who have traditionally been left out and it’s time to give them a seat at the table.

Can @TourTrackrDC be used to track #Inauguration2021 flags requests?
Update on state flags from the National Mall: Thanks to @BennieGThompson and @IAM_TheTyJAMES, the state flags will be distributed to each MS Congressional office. We don’t know when or how they’ll be distributed, but follow up with your Congressman if interested.
