The Alliance for Space Development (ASD), sponsored by the National Space Society (NSS) and the Space Frontier Foundation (SFF), is holding the annual March Storm Washington DC Blitz March 15-19, 2020. Sunday March 15 will be an all-day training event, followed by up to four days of Congressional visits. Blitzers are asked to commit to a minimum of 1 day of Congressional visits, but those days can be picked from among March 16-19. A mandatory training session will take place at the Holiday Inn Arlington, but it is otherwise not an official March Storm hotel, and attendees are encouraged to stay wherever is convenient financially. You must be a U.S. resident to participate.

March Storm 2020 will support the Alliance for Space Development 2020 objectives:

1. Support NASA's Planetary Defense office by supporting NASA's NEOSM mission.

2. Start developing and demonstrating Space Solar Power (SSP)

3. Make space development and settlement part of NASA, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Space Commerce’s official mission.

For more information on these goals and their talking points, please visit the ASD website here:

March Storm is the premier citizen-run, space focused Congressional visit event of 2020. The training will prepare you to meet with Congresspersons and staffers even if you have no prior experience. Experts will coach you how to make the best pitch for our future in space. Please join us in Washington DC March 16-20, 2020 and see how you can make an impact.

For registered attendees, feel free to join the March Storm 2020 Facebook group to share hotel and flight information, coordinate ride-shares, and otherwise become familiar with the other attendees prior to the event. We will be helping organize through this group so please join it if you need help!
