Policy Briefing on Russian Sanctions for Super Advocates
Zoom · Tonight, Thursday, October 22 · 8:30 PM ET
Dear friends,
Tonight at 8:30 PM Eastern (7:30 PM Central, 6:30 PM Mountain, 5:30 PM Pacific and Arizona), we will hold a policy briefing on the Russia sanctions law for our Super Advocates.
The Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 required a report on the largest buyers of Russian oil and gas by October 18.
Those lists have not been made public, so we prepared a one-pager with the baseline data. Our goal is to deliver it to every member of the six committees that oversee the law: Senate Finance, Foreign Relations and Banking, and House Ways and Means, Foreign Affairs and Financial Services. Offices listen to their own constituents first, so we need you.
