Thank you to Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger [D-MD-2] for becoming the 38th co-sponsor of HR. 3946, The FASD Respect Act! Rep. Ruppersberger is the third representative from Maryland to co-sponsor, and he did not co-sponsor HR. 4151 during the 117th Congress. Advocates met with Rep. Ruppersberger’s office during National FASD Impact Week’s Hill Day in September.
The political situation in Washington is currently more complicated than usual, but that does not mean advocacy for the FASD community needs to stop. We are reaching out to legislators who co-sponsored in the 117th Congress but have not yet co-sponsored during this legislative session. You can see that list here; if you live in one of these districts and would like help setting a meeting with your representative, please email melfi@fasdunited.org. Please see the full list of Support for HR. 3946/ S. 1800, The FASD Respect Act below!
