Diabetes Advocacy Launchpad

Welcome to the Diabetes Advocacy Launchpad. It’s a simple way to find opportunities to get involved in diabetes advocacy during Diabetes Awareness Month in November, and throughout the year. By compiling and summarizing all of the available advocacy programs in one place, we hope it will be easier to find the right one(s) for you. Feel free to share this list with friends or on social media. If there’s anything you feel we should add, please let us know at community@tandemdiabetes.com. 

While we hope to include as many submissions as possible, please note that all submissions will be subject to internal review and while Tandem may have a relationship with some of the organizations listed below, we have no control over the information shared outside of this website and our inclusion of an organization below is not intended as an endorsement.
