Fragile X Advocacy
FRAXA has experience working with Congress and building relationships with government agencies to advocate for funding of Fragile X research. We invite families interested getting involved as advocates to join us. Advocates can help by becoming knowledgeable about the status of Fragile X research and contacting their representatives to voice support for Fragile X research programs. Advocates can also meet with representatives in Washington, DC or their offices in home districts.
