JOIN US IN FEBRUARY!
A virtual grassroots advocacy event
METAvivor’s GroundSwell is the virtual sibling event to the Stage IV Stampede. By directly engaging with your lawmakers in Washington DC, you can educate them about the MBC patient experience, the policies METAvivor is seeking to change, and the crucial need for federally funded research on MBC. Bringing together patients, caregivers, family members, and supporters for an equally effective annual advocacy event, GroundSwell provides METAvivor advocates like you with training and support for impactful virtual meetings.
During these two weeks, advocates will schedule advocacy meetings with their own US Representative as well as attending meetings scheduled by the State Captain with your state’s two Senators. Members of the MBC community can make a big impact by sharing their stories and putting a face to the “why” behind passing important bills and legislation that can positively impact those living with metastatic breast cancer. METAvivor will provide legislative priority documents and training so all advocates are poised to use their passion and knowledge to take action.
Your advocacy makes an impact.
Thanks to your active participation in annual advocacy campaigns, along with ongoing engagement of legislators, METAvivor has successfully driven advancement and expansion of the federal metastatic breast cancer research portfolio.

CONSIDER BEING A STATE CAPTAIN
Each State Captain will be responsible for encouraging MBC patients and loved ones in their state to participate in METAvivor’s advocacy events. Additionally, State Captains are tasked with coordinating and scheduling advocacy meetings with the state’s two Senators. METAvivor will provide legislative priority documents and training so the State Captains are poised to use their leadership, passion, and knowledge to mobilize the advocates in their group to take action and make a difference for the MBC community and the federal policies that impact their lives. If you are interested in being a State Captain please make sure to notate that when registering.
