This week's episode I was able to sit down and talk with Ryan Ferrante, who is a Reproductive Attorney in Chicago. Not only is he an attorney, but he is also on the volunteer committee and has an active part in the planning of Federal Advocacy for Resolve. Federal Advocacy Day is where people like you and me can get involved in speaking with our legislators to pass pro-family building legislation at the federal level. Ryan and I talk about our experiences with this day, as last year was my first year sharing my infertility journey with legislators from Wisconsin. Also, we talk about the importance of advocating for legislation in our state government to increase access to fertility treatments. Building Families Alliance in Wisconsin are hoping to do just that, so the 172,000 people in Wisconsin can have better access to treatment. Only 19 states have mandated insurance coverage for fertility treatments and Wisconsin is not one of them, meaning that citizens in those states will be out of pocket for treatments such as IVF, which can cost around $45,000. Below are ways that you can get involved in Federal Advocacy Day on 4/25 and Building Families Alliance if you are in Wisconsin. The best part? You can do it from the comfort of your residence because it's virtual. It's not too late to sign up. Your story is powerful, and you never know who needs to hear it.
