Please join us for the fourth United Against Ataxia Hill Day on September 21, 2022. Ataxia advocates will speak to their Congressional Members. All meetings will be virtual and run approximately 15-30 minutes in duration. You will be assigned 2-5 meetings between 9am and 5pm.
Your Congressional Members need to hear from you to fully understand what Ataxia is and what legislative action is needed! Join us in raising awareness about Ataxia, research funding needed, and ways to expedite treatments. The power to create change starts with you! Sign up to be a part of Hill Day below.
Feel free to post on social media to support these efforts using #AtaxiaHillDay.
