Select one (or more) of the Federal and State issues in which the American Diabetes Association (ADA) is asking you to act upon. I would like you to focus on the issue of Support Life-Changing Diabetes Research and Programs. I have provided the link below.
https://donations.diabetes.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3271
Participate in the selected issue by sending a letter. Enter your letter in the format provided in the ADA website. When you personalize your response, use the knowledge that you have acquired in this course to frame it as a health disparity issue using the concepts you have learned in the readings. It is good idea if you identify yourself as a pharmacist in training and provide your clinical knowledge. Try to be passionate, assertive and professional in your arguments.
Below are two links that should be used to show knowledge of the subject.

Note: for the letter just write the personalized message as seen in the ADA website. Thank you.
