Access New Congress Legislation
Your students can practice with our new March Congress docket for members. Plus, be sure to check out our themed docket for Women's History Month created by members of our coaching community for your classroom or practice session!

Earlier this month, our Board of Directors voted unanimously to adopt an Equity Statement for our organization. The final statement comes from many hours of discussion with experts, each other, and our community, and we’re proud to share it with you here.
