The regional Legislative Conferences will help patients, caregivers and others in the rare community prepare for In-District Lobby Days during the summer Congressional recess (July 18^th through September 5^th).

In-District Lobby Days will provide you with the opportunity to sit and talk with your Members of Congress about your needs and challenges, and explain what they can do to help you and your community.

Registration for In-District Lobby Days is open through July 1^st, and you will have the opportunity to specify your availability so that we can try to schedule the meetings on days that are convenient for you. Click HERE to register.
