WBCC’s Dawn Anderson and Kari Cataldo will lead the training, focused on how to engage with your state and federal senators and representatives to ask for their support of bills related to breast cancer and women’s health. Gail’s Law (LRB-0466) was recently introduced in the Wisconsin state legislature, and advocates sharing their personal stories and explaining the importance of the bill will help to get it passed. This bill will ensure cost free coverage of medically necessary supplemental diagnostic and screening tests (MRI, ultrasound, etc.) for women who have a suspicious finding or are at high risk for breast cancer due to dense breast tissue, personal medical history or family history/genetics. The training will also briefly cover how to express your support for our federal legislative priorities, including Medicaid (Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act), Medicare (Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act) and Research (Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program). Registration is open to anyone interested in advocacy, and there is no obligation or future time commitment. Training will simply give you the tools to be more effective when calling, writing or meeting your senators and representatives. There will be a 40-minute presentation, followed by questions and answers. We hope to see you there!
There is no cost to attend, but we encourage you to join us for the Cruise for a Cure, immediately following the training.
