Lived experience drives legislative action. That’s why we’re in Washington, D.C this week with ambassadors and Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition advocating on the Hill for people living with diabetes—for access, affordability and education.

Diabetes care is a human right. We’re advocating for the INSULIN Act because everyone deserves affordable access to insulin. We’re advocating for the DIABETES Act because quality diabetes care shouldn’t have an age limit. We’re advocating for the SCREEN for T1D Act because early detection can reduce the risk of life-threatening complications and have long-term health benefits.

Lawmakers remember people, not data points. Your voice matters. Make it heard by sending messages to your members of Congress in our bio.

And if you’re interested in lending your voice for future opportunities like this, sign up to become a Beyond Ambassador in our profile too. We’re in this together 💛
