#Vermont is one step closer to a Rare Disease Advisory Council (#RDAC)! 🏛️ NORD Rare Action Network advocate Sarah Elliott shared her story of living with #DiastrophicDysplasia before the Senate Health & Welfare Committee in support of H.46. #VT is the only New England state without an RDAC. We can change that! Meet lawmakers next week at the State House in Montpelier and show them how an RDAC represents the 1 in 10 Vermonters with a #RareDisease. #VTleg Register to attend: bit.ly/4c57n4m

Such an obvious solution for rural Vermonters, but your elected officials can’t take credit for @Starlink. That’s why you never hear it uttered from their mouths 👇 How much money & promises have been wasted throwing money at high-speed internet? #vtpoli #vtleg cc: @BernieSanders @BeccaBalintVT @SenPeterWelch
