One of the most effective ways to advocate is directly with legislators at “Third House” or “Cracker Barrel” events they or other organizations host for constituents in their districts. Often these are breakfasts, luncheons or town hall-style events. Sometimes they have fees.  Below we have gathered Third House meetings on a map. Click a point to get details on events in your area. If you know of one or plan to attend one that isn’t included in our map, please let us know!

For inspiration we have included a video clip below of ICPE member Russ Phillips who attended a third house event in his community during the 2023 budget session. Many thanks to him for showing us how it’s done! Please check out our template that you can use at a third house meeting near you.
