State Advocacy Day

Once a year, SCDAI plans a State Advocacy Day, where a group of SCD advocates head to our capitol, Springfield, to ask for support from our state assembly.

​

It is free to participate!

Registration not open. Check back closer to the Fall!

SCDAA: Advocacy Days

Advocates spend the first day preparing to speak with their senators and representatives. On the second day, they journey to Capitol Hill to hold meetings with officials and discuss the importance of supporting sickle cell legislation, protecting Medicaid and more. Usually in April or May.

Sick Cells + SC3:
Policy Forum

The Policy Forum is 2-day, hands-on event designed to inform sickle cell advocates on critical SCD policy priorities, train advocates to speak with their federal representatives, and connect with them on a virtual Hill Day. Usually in mid-March.
