Member Call to Action

Member call to action for legislation allows constituents to advocate for policies, stay informed about upcoming changes in the law, and ensure their voice is heard by lawmakers. They are an important tool in our advocacy efforts as legislators need and want to hear from their constituents. 

Check back often for current member calls to action. Action alerts are also distributed in real time to members via email. 
 

AUGS Virtual Fly-In Advocacy Day

Join us on May 14, 2026 for AUGS’ Virtual Fly-In Advocacy Day—an opportunity for members to come together during Women’s Health Week and raise our collective voice on behalf of our subspecialty and the patients we serve.

What we’ll be advocating for:
AUGS’ federal advocacy priorities focus on protecting and advancing our subspecialty, improving access to care for patients with pelvic floor disorders, and strengthening research and reimbursement that supports high-quality urogynecologic care. You can review our current priorities here: https://www.augs.org/advocacy-priorities/.

How it works:

  • Participate virtually from anywhere
  • Choose the timeframe that works best for you on May 14th:
    • Morning session: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
    • Afternoon session: 12:00 – 5:00 PM ETOr attend both
  •  Meet with congressional staff in small groups (typically 20-30-minute times slots)
  • Training, talking points, and prep materials will be provided in advance—no Hill experience required
    • Virtual Training Session: Monday, May 4th 8:00 pm – 8:45 pm ET

Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned voice, this is a meaningful way to help elevate awareness of pelvic floor disorders, protect our subspecialty, and ensure policymakers understand the importance of urogynecologic care.

Calls to Action:

Volunteer to be a Reviewer: The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) reviews three quarters of all NIH applications and virtually all submitted R01s. Having an increased presence of Urogynecologists serving as reviewers will ensure the development of a more comprehensive knowledge base on Urogynecologic conditions.
