2024 Lyme Fly-In

Virtual Event

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 10, 2024

 

On February 20-21, 2024 Center for Lyme Action will host its annual Virtual Fly-In to connect advocates with their Members of Congress.  Last year more than 300 advocates registered for more than 200 meetings with Congress Members.

What is the CLA Lyme Fly-in?  A fly-in is an advocacy event where participants from across the United States meet with the DC staff of their elected Representatives and Senators to advocate for increases in federal funding for Lyme disease.  Occasionally the Members make themselves available for the meetings. In addition to the Fly-in meetings we will hold a preparation session and a training session.  See the agendas below.
