Join UOAA live on July 23rd at 12:00PM EST for a special advocacy training webinar.

Personal stories are one of the most powerful tools in advocacy. They put a human face on policy issues, change perspectives, and can influence lawmakers and policymakers in ways that facts and statistics alone cannot. This training will help you effectively share your experience when communicating with elected officials—whether in a virtual meeting, an in-person visit, or through a letter or email.

During this session, you’ll learn how to be a compelling advocate, communicate with confidence, and craft your personal story into a powerful two-minute “elevator speech” that leaves a lasting impression.

We want to prepare our advocates in advance of our next phase in the national campaign to protect access to ostomy and urological supplies. 

Our speakers will include patient advocates Kelly Dwyer and Kimberly Holiday-Coleman. 

Remember: Your voice matters.
