HOW
TO TAKE ACTION AS AN IBD SURVIVOR:
The following assistance options are listed
in order of priority:
- Sign the
IBD Awareness Stamp proposal, right here, right now, online.
- Download
a Starterkit from our Downloads sub-section to volunteer & collect
signatures for the Campaign. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat reader, and
would prefer to receive a Starterkit in the mail, simply email your full
name and address to: starterkits@ibdcure.org.
Please allow 1-3 weeks for delivery.
- Write
a personal account of your battle with IBD to the Postal Service's Citizens'
Stamp Advisory Committee. These writing pieces will be kept anonymous
if desired. We will then be posting these accounts on our website, as well
as sending these bio/letters to the Stamps Committee to help them understand
what we go through while living with IBD.
- Write
your local Representative and Senators to urge
them to support the Inflammatory Bowel Disease stamp legislation.
- Write a letter to tell them why there needs to be an IBD
Awareness Stamp.
- E-mail
as many people as possible to tell them about the IBD Stamp Campaign
[a pre-written letter is available for your convenience].
- Make a
donation to the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Stamp Campaign. We will be
using these funds to cover internet & printing costs, postage, and other
such expenses.
- Contact
media sources to help get the word out! [a pre-written
press release is available for your convenience].
- Subscribe
to the IBDSC e-news list.
