As the son of a lupus warrior, I've seen first-hand the damage lupus can have on families and individuals who live with this cruel disease. Ending lupus is important to me, and I know it's important to you.
Today, I'll be on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC with more than 350 lupus advocates - the most ever to advocate on the Hill at one time - urging Congress to increase lupus research funding and do more in the fight to end this disease. YOU can join us and make your voice heard by participating in the Lupus Foundation of America's Virtual Advocacy Day.
As we're meeting with members of Congress, we'll also need to flood their emails and social media with messages asking them to join us in our fight.
Congress is making decisions on what programs to fund next year, including lupus programs. It is critical that they hear from you to understand the brutal impact of lupus and why increased funding for lupus programs is so important.
Here's how you can participate in Virtual Advocacy Day no matter where you live:
- Take action right now by clicking here to send a customizable email to your Senators and U.S. Representative requesting they increase lupus research funding and ensure that people with lupus have access to quality, affordable care.
- Elevate your voice on social media by sharing your story and using the hashtags #LupusAdvocacy and #RisingVoices and engaging with the Lupus Foundation of America on Twitter and Facebook.
Let's make our voices heard and urge Congress to join our fight to end lupus!
Sincerely,
Kazy Tauginas
Actor and Son of a Lupus Warrior
