Your Voice Moves Congress.
Together, Our Voices Move Justice Forward.

Across the country and around the world, survivors and advocates are leading the movement to end violence. At IJM’s Advocacy Summit, we bring that expertise and vision directly into the rooms where decisions are made. These conversations have secured funding that protects children, strengthened trafficking laws, and built bipartisan momentum for justice.

This is what powerful advocacy looks like – people showing up, speaking truth, and moving Congress toward action.

For the 2026 Advocacy Summit, justice advocates – from first‑time attendees to long‑time leaders – will gather in Washington, D.C., on Monday, June 1 for a day of training, inspirational speakers, and small‑group engagement. Whether you're just beginning your advocacy journey or have years of experience, you’ll be equipped alongside a diverse community committed to driving change.

On Tuesday, June 2, we’ll put that training into action as we meet with our elected officials and advocate for the passage of key legislation that advances IJM’s work to protect children online. 

Justice moves forward when real people speak with courage, conviction, and hope. Every conversation with Congress adds momentum — and when our voices unite, we drive the policies that keep people safe from violence and create the change communities deserve.
