What is Advocacy?
Advocacy is the act of educating others about an issue,
supporting/defending a cause and recommending an action.
During an election cycle, all eyes turn to national,
state, and local politics. The Scleroderma Foundation
however, is advocating on your behalf throughout the
year whether there is an election or not. Luckily many
of the “friends” of the Scleroderma Foundation
have been re-elected to Congress. New faces also bring
new possibilities.
In the next few months, we will be working to strengthen
our existing congressional relationships and cultivate
new ones. This is an exciting time—and you can
be part of it! |
