Dear Addy: Symposium

Dear Addy,
I attended Symposium in April and gained a lot from the advocacy sessions. I want to incorporate what I learned at Symposium into my regular routine. What recommendations do you have for making advocacy an everyday activity?
Signed,
Maintaining the Momentum


Dear Momentum,
Thanks for attending HFA’s Symposium last month in Providence. It’s good to hear your feedback and interest in putting into practice what you learned during Symposium. Here is a list of common activities we make time for every day; consider using this time alternatively to act in support of the bleeding disorders community.

  • Got time to post a Tweet? (5 minutes)

  • Got time for a coffee run? (15 minutes)

  • Got time to check Facebook? (30 minutes)

  • Got time to play games on your phone? (1 hour)

    • Write a letter to your representative about how legislation personally affects you and the bleeding disorders community at large. Read about writing your legislator here and view a sample letter.
    • Like watching videos online? Check out HFA’s Advocacy YouTube page. Videos range from two minutes to one hour.

  • Got time to watch an entire series on Netflix? (2+ hours)

Keep up the momentum and let HFA’s Outreach team know what additional resources you need to stay involved and informed.
Sincerely,
Addy
