The Washington Bureau is pleased to welcome the 2025-2026 Cohort to the National Urban League Congressional Advocacy Program! This diverse group of leaders from across the Urban League movement share a common goal and common commitment to empowering communities and changing lives through advocacy and grassroots outreach. Over the next six months, cohort members will expand their knowledge of congressional and grassroots engagement through curated training with policymakers, thought leaders, and political influencers, while developing core leadership competencies to become effective catalysts for change in their communities and respective professions.
