You can ask the questions that matter most and shape the discussion with experts who understand the stakes. This isn’t just another briefing. It’s an interactive conversation for Hill staff, designed to fit your schedules and provide timely, actionable insights. Secure Line is built by former staff, for staff.

What to Expect
Because your time is limited
30-45 minute calls. No fluff or spin. Just the analysis and Q&A you need.
Because you need answers, not presentations
An interactive format means you get to ask follow-ups, test ideas, and dig into the details that matter for your work. You can ask questions live on the calls or submit them anonymously beforehand.
Experts from across the spectrum
Each call features FDD Action’s policy experts alongside distinguished practitioners from government, military, intelligence, and the private sector—bringing you diverse perspectives from the leaders who’ve shaped policy on the front lines.
