Advocacy & Legislation
The LFA Government Relations team is responsible for federal, state, and international legislation and issues that affect people with lupus. We work with Members of Congress at the federal level, and with our chapters at the state level to raise awareness and advocate for research funding.
There is no cure for lupus and no new drugs have been developed to treat lupus in more than 50 years! We will continue working with Congress and federal and state agencies to improve the lives of the more than 1.5 million Americans affected by lupus.
