Become a Breakthrough T1D Youth Advocacy Leader!

Visit breakthrought1d.org/advocacy to learn more about all the exciting advocacy work Breakthrough T1D is doing! What advocacy priority area interests you the most, and why?*

Post a photo or video on social media tagging Breakthrough T1D Advocacy, and within your post encourage friends and family to become Breakthrough T1D advocates at breakthrought1d.org/join. Bonus points if you include how you’re lending your voice as a Breakthrough T1D advocate and use #BreakthroughT1DAdvocacy! Provide the date of your post and on which platform it was shared (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, X).*

Take part in a Breakthrough T1D meeting with your local Member of Congress to share your T1D story through either our Together We Can (formerly Promise to Remember Me) campaign or the New Member Outreach Initiative! If these campaigns are not currently active (email us at yal@breakthrought1d.org if you need more info on these campaigns) another option is to meet in person with one of your community groups (i.e. your class, faith group, after-school activity team / group, club, etc.) and explain what life with T1D is like. Pro Tip – Partner with your nearest Breakthrough T1D Chapter to get ideas on who to meet with! Please briefly explain who you spoke to about T1D, the type of attendees in your meeting, and any other related information you would like to share with the Breakthrough T1D Advocacy team!*
