Advocacy

Government Relations

The Promise To Remember Me Campaign is a coordinated effort to schedule and complete as many meetings as possible between representatives and senators and their constituents in their local districts. In addition to building relationships with federal lawmakers, it allows JDRF to continue the momentum and messaging established through our Children’s Congress event.

How you can get involved:
The Northeast Ohio Chapter of JDRF is always looking for people to become advocates. Advocates write their members of Congress about the importance of upcoming bills that impact diabetes research and can send emails to friends, family, and co-workers about important legislation that involves diabetes. Advocates also make personal visits to elected officials to share the impact diabetes has on their family.
