A Video Message From One of Our Youngest Advocates!

Not many 12-year-olds can say they’ve lobbied Congress and sat at Senator Chuck Schumer’s desk, but Emma can, and she’s got a message for you! Click HERE or on the image to the right to watch her 30-second video.

BIG NEWS — we have confirmation from multiple sources that congressional leadership is considering the Lymphedema Treatment Act for the final legislative package of this year, but we aren’t in yet, so we have to keep up the pressure!

PLEASE use the appropriate link below (again) to contact your members of Congress and ask them to urge leadership to include the LTA:

• If you are a member of your state’s advocacy team, CLICK HERE
  to take action again, no matter how recently you just did
   
• If you are NOT a member of your state’s advocacy team, CLICK HERE
  to take action again, no matter how recently you just did
   
• If you aren’t sure if you are a member of your state’s advocacy team,
  CLICK HERE to contact us and we’ll let you know

If your members of Congress are already cosponsoring the bill it’s even more important that they continue to hear from you, even daily, because now we need them to fight for the LTA to be included!

A Continuing Resolution has extended the government funding deadline from today to next Friday, because they needed more time to negotiate. It’s unlikely that it will be extended further, however, so everything hinges on the next few days. Thank you!
