To fix our current and future problems, it will take all of us pulling together to protect our patients and our specialty. Thank you to all members of the ACR and ARHP who regularly take action on behalf of your patients. To those who have not had the chance to do so in the past, I welcome and encourage your involvement in advocacy in whatever way works best for you. Visit www.rheumatology.org/advocacy to get started.
All of our individual contributions add up, and together we can make a difference.

Editor’s note: Congress responded to this ACR advocacy campaign by including a fix to the Part B rule in a continuing resolution. As we go to press, it was being considered for passage. The ACR thanks members who contacted lawmakers, helping make this happen.
