Why We March

We march on Capitol Hill to fight with vulnerable communities nationwide that benefit from the 340B Program. The more 340B advocates who join, the stronger our collective voice is to defend essential health care and public health.

340B saves lives. We get LOUD to ensure lawmakers do not prioritize Pharma wealth over community health.
