If you’re in the DC area next Wednesday and are concerned about hepatitis B & C (it causes 80% of liver cancers and disproportionally affects AAPIs, so you should), please join hundreds as they rally to demand Congress fully fund prevention and education programs.
Congress members and community health leaders from across the country will be in attendance, including representatives from over a dozen AAPI groups sponsored to fly in by the Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Orgs (AAPCHO).
May 19 is World Hepatitis Day and there have already been huge steps made to eliminate a disease that kills someone literally every 35 seconds–let’s keep it up. Please add your voice to the cause if you can.
