Living organ donors give the gift of life. Federal policy should protect them. For nearly 20 years, AAKP has supported the Living Donor Protection Act.

During this year’s All Kidney Policy Is Local™ campaign, AAKP advocates will thank congressional co-sponsors and encourage additional lawmakers to support passage of this important bipartisan legislation.

No American should face unnecessary barriers because they made the extraordinary decision to become a living organ donor.

This August, kidney patients and advocates are bringing that message directly to Congress.
