π©Έ World Sickle Cell Day β June 19 π©Έ
Today, the NAACP DeKalb Branch recognizes World Sickle Cell Day and raises awareness about Sickle Cell Disease, a genetic blood disorder that disproportionately affects Black communities.
We honor the strength of individuals and families impacted by sickle cell disease and support continued efforts to increase awareness, improve access to care, and advance research.
Together, we can help build healthier and more informed communities.
