Despite its wide usage and broad support, the practice of reproductive medicine is often misunderstood by politicians and the public. You can help change that by registering to attend RESOLVE’s Federal Advocacy Day in partnership with ASRM.
Register for Virtual Advocacy Day
On May 20, 2025, join others from the reproductive medicine field for a day of advocacy around access to family building treatments. You will have the opportunity to meet with legislators from your state and share your personal and professional stories detailing the powerful role of ART.
Advocacy Day is a completely virtual event, making it a perfect opportunity for busy individuals. Meet with your representatives to advocate for the infertility community from home, from the office, or wherever you may be. Family building is a human right—let’s ensure it remains safe for professionals to practice and readily accessible to patients.
