The Importance of Local Advocacy for Medical Research

Advocacy often conjures images of traveling to Washington, D.C., and meeting with members of Congress and their staff on Capitol Hill. But there are plenty of ways to be active at the local level as well. Learn about the importance of advocacy activities during the August Congressional recess and hear how through local district meetings,town halls, and other activities, you can become an advocate for medical research at the local level.
