Advocacy and Awareness

Advocacy

Advocating for changes in public policy contributes to being a relentless force in finding a cure and improving the lives of people affected by scleroderma. Each individual in the scleroderma community can make an incredible difference by reaching out to their elected officials to encourage them to support policies and legislation on behalf of people affected by scleroderma.

On this page, our chapter will highlight our local advocates and the incredible work they do for scleroderma advocacy. Look here for our advocacy updates and advocate highlights.
