Abstract
"Lupus advocacy is very well organized, but not enough is known about the disease to turn it into a 'cause' that will garner legislators' attention. The fact that the disease disproportionately affects women and people of color does not enhance its importance to legislators. Perhaps a more effective way to advocate would be for the LFA and other oganizations to appeal directly to medical institutions."
