What is Promise? Promise is a campaign to schedule local meetings between JDRF advocates and their Members of Congress.
Why participate? JDRF has been cited as one of the most effective advocacy organizations in Washington, and that is a direct result of the relationships our thousands of advocates around the country have developed with their Members.
What’s at stake? $1 Billion in type 1 research funding over the next 5 years from the federal government. Our advocates will be asking legislators to support this expansion of type 1 research this year. Since the stakes are so high, we’re aiming to conduct the largest number of meetings in the history of the Promise Campaign: 400.
We need your help! To reach our goal, we need you to participate in a meeting with your Members of Congress in your local community. Send an email to advocacy@jdrf.org to register to attend a meeting. A campaign coordinator in your area will contact you! Thanks!
