Lupus Advocates Descend Upon U.S. Capitol This Week! 

 

Lupus advocates from across the country, including California, are gathering this week in Washington, D.C., to press for continued and increased funding for lupus research and education.

 

Representatives from independent lupus organizations aligned with the Lupus Research Institute's National Coalition, will visit the offices of U.S. senators and representatives on Capitol Hill to call for:

  • strengthening the nation's biomedical research through increased funding level in fiscal year 2013
  • reducing health disparities in lupus through an Appropriations Bill that would continue a new nationwide lupus education program for healthcare professionals called The Lupus Initiative. 

The advocates will also be urging their Members of Congress to join the newly-formed Congressional lupus Caucus.

 

You may not be in D.C. this week, but you can participate in advocating for lupus research and education, and in asking your Member of Congress to join the Caucus by contacting your duly-elected representative.  If you need to find out who you Member of Congress is, go to THIS WEB SITE and type in your zip code.
