The registration costs are: $150 early bird registration (by April 8) for those self-identified as under 30 or BIPOC or frontline communities; $225 regular registration by April 8. After April 8 the costs increase to $200 for those under 30 or BIPOC or frontline communities; and $350 regular registration.
Some people have already made their transportation and housing arrangements. We encourage you to do that as soon as possible as prices will increase and availability will be more limited as we get closer to June.
Please arrive in DC by Saturday, June 7, in order to attend the all-day training on Sunday, June 8, starting at 9am at the United Methodist Building, 100 Maryland Ave, NE (where we had the training in 2023 and 2024).

We know that our weapons, waste, and cleanup issues are very important now, thank you for your interest and participation in DC Days!
ANA hosted the 35th annual DC Days in Washington, DC on April 23-26, 2023.
ANA’s 2022 and 2021 DC Days events were hosted virtually.
During Virtual DC Days, ANA had high-level meetings with key congressional and administration officials via zoom. We used our traditional meeting format of a team leader, participants, and notetaker(s), as well as a zoom manager, and many non-speaking observers of the meetings.
Congress and the Biden administration especially need to hear from many of us as we seek a nuclear-free future that safeguards our communities and our environment.
