Days of Action: Video Messages

 

Rare Disease families have launched a video campaign telling Senators to protect Medicaid and pre-existing conditions. Join us and send a video message to your Senators! Tell Senators through video how the BCRA will impact your life, or the life of a love one. Take a short, 30-second video, save it on your device, upload it to social media, and tag your Senators. This is an easy and impactful way to show your Senators who you are and how the BCRA will affect you.
