Activism & Legislative Efforts
Group Admins
This parent group is where any members should post about soliciting for their legislative activity that they would like to promote, support, or rally against. This is a place to spread the word about current legislative efforts in progress or to create new ones including pending legal cases, petitioning the FDA, organizing protests, etc. Utilize the DonorChildren member base by posting to this group wall and create legislative changes as a community voice. ‘Donor’ conceived voices have not had a voice until now. This is our chance for our demographic to organize for change as we see fit. Please create Groups for your individual need and make this group the parent group.
