Rare Disease Week on Capitol Hill empowers and inspires hundreds of advocates each year. The connections you make during the week will impact rare disease patients for generations to come.

Hosted by the Rare Disease Legislative Advocates (a program of the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases), this multi-day event brings together rare disease advocates from across the country to make their voices heard by their Members of Congress. Participants are educated on policy proposals impacting the rare disease community and provided opportunities to advocate for policy changes directly to their Members of Congress. No matter one’s connection to rare disease or their advocacy experience level, all are welcome.

Join WITA  at the 2024 Congressional Trade Agenda on Tuesday, March 5 at 9:30 AM ET as congressional trade leaders share their perspectives at WITA’s annual overview of the Hill’s Trade Agenda.
