Your Story is Our Most Important Message

Lend Your VoiceThis summer, ALF advocates will meet virtually and in-person with elected officials in their local cities and towns to share their liver stories and lend their voices to urge action. The Lend Your Voice campaign kicks off with a virtual advocate training on July 20th from 7PM to 8PM ET followed by local meetings in August. Whether you have liver disease, are a family member or friend, a caregiver, or a medical professional, your voice matters and needs to be heard.
