Join Like-Minded Independent Supermarket Advocates in Washington, D.C to:

  • Learn how to talk about grocery issues
  • Attend NGA scheduled Congressional meetings
  • Impact how Congress views the independent grocery industry in an election year 

Join other independent retailers, wholesalers, and state association executives in Washington, D.C. to advocate for a level playing field in the grocery industry by calling for enforcement of the Robinson-Patman Act and legislation to reform credit card routing to lower swipe fees. We will also call on Congress to pass a strong Farm Bill that ensures grocery retail remains at the center of delivering nutrition assistance through SNAP. During the Fly-In you will meet with your representatives on Capitol Hill, discuss the pressing issues that are affecting your business, and help NGA to positively impact the policymaking process.

If you have any questions, please reach out to NGA's Government Relations team at gr@nationalgrocers.org

  • Schedules your Congressional meetings and pairs you with other NGA members and experienced advocates
  • Prepares you with briefing materials, meeting tips, and all logistical information needed for a successful day on Capitol Hill
