Google Hangout about RESOLVE's Advocacy Day




Streamed live on Mar 19, 2013

Ever wonder what RESOLVE's Advocacy Day is like? Here's a great educational video using Google Hangout and posted to YouTube that will help give you a better understanding of this empowering day. 


Personally, I found it reassuring to hear the ladies in this video explaining that none of them are experts, they are just women who are passionate about this cause, as we all are, who have stepped up to lead this cause and create awareness of this disease to policy makers in our government.

I think it's also really cool that they will have guest speakers and educational opportunities at this event.  Now I'm even more bummed that I can't travel to D.C. for this awesome event.  I hope they post some videos or highlight the day's occurrences in blog posts and other news releases.

I also find it really important that the video points out that the Advocacy Day website gives you all the information you need, from what to wear, to travel plans, to the day's events, etc.

It was kind of comforting to hear that some of these women had gone for the first time last year, and now here they are, featured on a promotional video to encourage us to go!  It really proves that anyone can do this, and we don't need to be experts to be a leader in this cause.

Registration for Advocacy Day after April 24th cannot guarantee Congressional appointments, but RESOLVE still invites you to come to the event and drop by your legislators' offices!
