Advocacy In Action

Fibromyalgia Fights On

By uniting a passionate collective of leaders, we catalyze the transformative changes essential for the well-being of our entire fibromyalgia community. The power of investing in patient leadership and advocacy training cannot be understated, as it seeds the growth of a positively impactful community. In 2019, we pioneered a brand-new fibromyalgia advocacy training program. This initiative has been a cornerstone in bridging advocates and organizations, fostering a harmonious and empowered community dedicated to making a difference.

Next Generation Fibromyalgia Advocacy Training

In September 2019, our nonprofit organization launched a new grassroots National Fibromyalgia Advocacy program. Patients, advocates, clinicians, and caregivers met on Capitol Hill for advocacy education and attended over 54 meetings to educate their legislative representatives about supporting critical fibromyalgia medical research.

We marked 2020-2024 with a significant expansion of our initiatives. Beyond our traditional in-person Hill Day in March 2020 and all virtual meetings that followed, we broadened our impact through public awareness campaigns, including issuing Proclamations and engaging communities through regional meetings and town halls. By expanding virtually, our organization successfully met with over 100 Congressional offices to advocate for fibromyalgia.

Delegate Training

Collaboration is essential as we unite with diverse organizations, healthcare leaders, and Fibromyalgia Delegates nationwide for meetings with Congressional leaders. We are set to identify champions for fibromyalgia in Congress and advocate for consistent funding for fibromyalgia-focused research. We aim to achieve accurate condition classification and accelerate the development of translational treatments. This collaborative effort led to the inception of the National Fibromyalgia Delegates Training Program, marking a significant milestone in our advocacy journey. This program allows us to train the next generation of Fibromyalgia Advocates.
