March

DFA is only as powerful as the people who make it up. As demonstrated in the 2025 Impact Report, our advocates not only show up, but do so with pride. Advocacy isn't a detour from medicine. It's part of it. With every campaign, advocacy action, and story, we inch closer to equitable, affordable, high-quality health care for all. As challenging as the past year may have been, it proved what is truly capable when our advocates stand together.

 

Thank you for being a vital part of our movement. More to come in 2026!

Join us on Monday, March 23rd for our Advocacy Grand Rounds focused on
