Take Action
A major part of being an effective advocate is understanding when your outreach to Congress will have the biggest impact. We’ll always let you know when those times are, but it's still helpful to understand the process and refresh your memory about how an idea becomes a law.
When you tell your lupus story, you provide hope and inspiration for all the lupus warriors fighting this cruel disease. If you're an advocate who has lupus or has been touched by this disease, share your story and show others why and how you advocate.
