Participate in the LFA’s Advocacy Day on Tuesday, March 16 – from the Comfort of Your Home

As you have no doubt heard, LFA’s 12th Annual Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill is Tuesday, March 16. Hundreds of lupus advocates from around the country will come together on Capitol Hill to educate Members of Congress about lupus, and encourage them to support increased federal funding for lupus research, awareness, and health care provider education programs.

Even if you cannot physically join us on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, you can still support the LFA’s efforts on the 16th – and do it from the comfort of your home.

Here’s what you can do from home.

Send an email, call, or write your Congressman or Senator.
Raise awareness by sending an ecard.
Spread the word on Facebook and Twitter, or through your blog.
Everything you need to know about doing one – or more – of those 3 options above is now available on the LFA’s Advocacy Day landing page.

Remember, we really need you to make your voices heard on Tuesday the 16th.
