The latest research findings, information, and tools for people with lupus.
 |
The nation's largest lupus advocacy event went digital again in 2021! From March 2-4, thousands from the lupus community came together virtually for two days of educational and networking opportunities focused on lupus advocacy, research, and drug development. Finally, advocates met virtually with their members of Congress to advocate for policies to improve the quality of life for everyone affected by this disease. Thousands of your fellow lupus advocates came together in an immersive, experiential online platform to make an enormous difference in the fight against lupus.
For those of you who were unable to attend, we have good news - it's not too late for you to participate in the 2021 Digital Lupus Advocacy Summit! While the live event has ended, the Summit platform will stay up until April 2 and can be accessed at any time by anyone with an interest in lupus advocacy. Upon registering you'll be placed into the platform where you can view recordings of every Summit session and hear about the efforts of our partners in the fight against lupus. Registration is free!
