Each year, 2.8 million Americans acquire serious infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria and 35,000 of them die as a result.
People living with cystic fibrosis face the heighted risk of life-long infection. The shortage of antibiotics in development is a problem that puts not only our CF community at risk, but all Americans – and we need Congress’s help.
Today, we ask that you join with the more than 200 CF advocates participating in our annual March on the Hill in Washington, D.C. by joining our Online Day of Action to draw attention to the need for new antibiotics. It will only take a few clicks of a button to send a message to your members of Congress from your phone or computer.
By participating, you will be amplifying the voices of the more than 200 CF advocates in Washington, D.C. and adding to the chorus of thousands of community members taking part online.
