Legislative Day
2023 Legislative Day
Participate in Legislative Day Virtually!
Virtual Legislative Day Email and Social Media Campaign:
Unable to take time off on Legislative Day to go to Sacramento for office visits? There are still ways you can participate! Using HCC’s Virtual Legislative Day email and social media templates, as well as our Capitol Canary links, you can create messages to send to your legislators or post on their social media channels on March 21st. By flooding legislators’ social media channels and email inboxes with issues that matter to the bleeding disorders community, you can make a big difference!
TAKE ACTION! Misleading health plan policies are harming vulnerable patients today. Bring relief to patients who need help with their out-of-pocket costs by protecting copay assistance! https://bit.ly/3gm1ENk
