Advocacy Day In Sacramento
On May 5, 2025, CFRI advocates will be in Sacramento raising awareness among our elected representatives about issues that affect individuals and families living with CF and rare diseases. Between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm (approximately) we will meet with Assemblymembers and Senators (and/or their aides) to raise CF awareness and ask for their support on specific legislation that impacts the lives of our community members. A resolution by Senator John Laird, declaring May to be Cystic Fibrosis Month in California will also be read.
If you are ready to confirm your participation in this empowering day of advocacy, please email cfri@cfri.org. Please also confirm your residential address, so that we can set up meetings with your representatives.
