Grassroots Advocacy
While great strides have been made over the past few years to increase federal support for diabetes research, more needs to be done.
Being a JDRF Advocate is easy and doesn’t require a lot of your time which is the most important contribution you can make. It’s as easy as sending an e-mail, calling or meeting with your Member of Parliament (MP) to share your personal story. As a JDRF Advocate, your personal story takes on added impact when you join forces with thousands of other Advocates across Canada.
We need your help to increase the pace of research to help find a cure.
JDRF Advocates receive:
- legislative alerts on when and how to write your elected officials on matters of immediate importance;
- news on advocacy initiatives;
- e-mail updates on diabetes-related public policy events in Ottawa; and
- updates on diabetes research initiatives in bills before Parliament.
