Caterina Scorsone Instagram – 🏛️ That’s a wrap on Day 1 of our annual GLOBAL DC Fly-In & #DeOndraDixon Advocacy Days on the Hill! ✈️💜
Check out #TeamGLOBAL in action! Today, 100 families and self-advocates from 21 states including 17 different #DownSyndromeOrganizations met with Members of Congress to champion lifesaving research and push forward the #DeOndraDixonINCLUDEProjectAct — strengthening @nihgov investment in #DownSyndromeResearch and improving health outcomes nationwide.
👏 HUGE thanks to the incredible @caterinascorsone, Dr. Joaquín Espinosa and the AMAZING team @crnicinstitute, our passionate #GLOBALAdvocates, and the many #MembersofCongress who took the time to meet with our community today.
Your voices, stories, and leadership are what move policy — and change lives.
Together, we are honoring DeOndra Dixon’s legacy and building a healthier, more inclusive future for people with #DownSyndrome. 💛💙
