Promise to Remember Me Campaign: Campaign Steps
JDRF advocates are moms, dads, siblings, friends, kids and adults, like you. Together, our advocates make up one of the most powerful and passionate groups of volunteers in history-raising awareness and support for vital issues that will advance research to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.
Just a few minutes of your time each month can change a legislator's mind and help find a cure. There is power in numbers, so please join us today!
There are several different ways that you can get involved with JDRF:
Step Two: Attend a Meeting
Be sure to:
- Take your camera.
- Review the Campaign message points.
- Tell your story about diabetes and ask the legislator to "promise to remember you" when making decisions about diabetes.
- Take a photograph of all of the meeting attendees with your legislator.
Step Three: Share & Send Your Story
One person in your group of attendees will be appointed to submit a photo along with
a summary of the meeting. You can visit the Meeting Feedback area of our website
to submit your meeting information or call us at 800-533-1868 to have a form mailed
to you.
Send your legislator(s) a thank you note using our "Thank You" postcard.
These postcards are available with our Promise mailer. Your local campaign
coordinator can make sure you receive one of these mailers.
In your note, please restate your relation to diabetes and ask for the legislator to
support an increase in funding for type 1 diabetes research.
