The Lupus Research Institute (LRI) is the world’s leading private supporter of innovative research in lupus and a strong advocate for federal support of lupus research among members of Congress, health groups, the pharmaceutical industry, and the public. The LRI’s advocacy arm is its National Coalition, a powerful network of state and local lupus organizations united to prevent, treat and cure lupus by advocating for lupus on Capitol Hill. The LRI advocates for lasting change in numerous ways. We need people with lupus and those impacted by lupus to let their voice be heard in order to improve access to care for people with lupus and other debilitating chronic illnesses.
This webinar, the first of a three part series, will cover advocacy basics such as how Congress works, how a bill becomes a law, the budget and appropriations process, and how to work with members of Congress. The information presented in this webinar will help you on the way to becoming an effective advocate and will let you know how you can work with the LRI and National Coalition members to strengthen the voice of people with lupus.
