2025 Advocacy Days

2025 Advocacy Days June 3-4, 2025

Raleigh, NC
Registration Deadline: 05/20/2025 11:59 PM
Have you ever been frustrated by healthcare policies and felt like they need to be better for people with bleeding disorders? Or maybe you feel like legislators don’t understand what it is like to live with a lifelong condition. You are the best person to help change that!

Join us in Raleigh for the Bleeding Disorder Foundation of North Carolina’s (BDFNC’s) 2025 Advocacy Days. We will visit the NC General Assembly to talk with lawmakers about issues affecting our community. This may sound intimidating, but all you need to be able to do is tell your story, and we will help you with the rest. We will also make sure you never visit a legislative office alone. As a statewide organization, we need people to join us from all corners of North Carolina, including the mountains, beaches, and everywhere in between. Wherever you live, come to Raleigh and represent the bleeding disorders community with your elected representatives.
