Join us for the second session in EMPOWER Advocacy’s three-part advocacy and education webinar series, designed for families and individuals living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Building on the foundation shared at the 2025 Family Forum (rewatch), this session will help you understand what advocacy truly is, why it matters, and how your voice can shape meaningful change in your community and across Canada.

Participants will learn how to identify their advocacy target, develop a simple yet effective advocacy plan, and craft a compelling personal story to use when engaging decision-makers. The session will also explore how to build relationships with local elected officials and how to leverage your personal network to amplify impact.

We welcome all levels of experience – whether advocacy is brand new to you or you’re looking to strengthen your skills. Please note that this session is specifically designed for family members, caregivers, and individuals living with Duchenne.

This webinar is part of a three-part series. The first session was featured during our 2025 Family Forum. If you plan to attend the second or third webinars, we encourage you to watch this recording beforehand:
