What does an e-Advocate do?

As a Georgia Chapter e-Advocate, you will be an important part if our awareness efforts to educate Georgia officials about lupus and its effects on the 55,000 Georgians living with this cruel disease, advocating for funds to find the causes and cure for lupus and help those with the disease.

Your voice counts! By sending a letter, fax, email, phone call, or face-to-face meeting with your Georgia State Representatives or Senators, you can help get action on legislation important to people with lupus.

Who can be an e-Advocate?
You don't have to be an expert. Just share your knowledge about lupus. Contact your elected officials, we will provide you with all of the necessary language.
