Welcome to your portal for this summer's local advocacy. We are very happy to have you join our community of patients, doctors, and advocates who have given their time to improving care for those living with psoriatic disease.
In August, members of Congress will return to their home districts and states for an extended in-district work period. This is a great opportunity to advocate locally and continue to build relationships with your legislators by requesting a legislative meeting or attending a town hall or coffee in your area. We are happy you are joining NPF for local summer advocacy this year!

Prepare your Asks
We recommend selecting one of the topics below to discuss with your legislator. The three documents below are designed to provide background information, questions that are frequently asked by members of Congress and their staff (plus the answers!), and ideas to help you connect your experience to the policy issue. Once you sign up to participate, an NPF advocacy team member will be in touch with information about which issue could benefit the most from your lawmaker’s attention.
