Advocacy Update!
Earlier this year, AZBD's Future Leaders traveled to Washington, D.C. for Washington Days, where they met with members of Congress and shared their stories while advocating for issues important to the bleeding disorders community, including the FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act.
We are excited to share that the FED UP with Bleeding Disorders Act has officially been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives! This bipartisan legislation aims to address many of the barriers faced by women and girls living with bleeding disorders by reviewing federal programs, improving provider education, increasing access to treatment and services, encouraging inclusion in clinical trials, and creating a national awareness campaign.
This is a great reminder that advocacy works! We are excited to continue building momentum and advancing awareness for women and girls with bleeding disorders!
