Summer of Activism: Have Your Voice Heard on the Hill

The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) can make people feel powerless and isolated. Participating in day on the Hill events in Washington DC with patient advocacy groups are one way to take back control and have your voice heard by those who can help affect change. Hear from Jaime Holland of Pretty Rotten Guts, who describes her experiences in lobbying on Capital Hill including why it's important to her, how she navigates the day with mobility issues, and why the experience is empowering.
