With European Parliament elections just around the corner, now is the time to reach out to our political representatives and seek support for better hormone health policies.
Let’s make sure the voice of the endocrine community continues to be heard.
To support your policy and advocacy efforts, ESE created a policy toolkit with useful resources, including a guide with specific actions you can take at national level, key messages you can share with policymakers and others, and a template letter you can adapt and send to your political representatives.
This was developed ahead of European Hormone Day, but the materials can be used at any time.
Please keep ESE informed of your activities and let us know if your national politicians support the cause by contacting the ESE Team.
You can also find a wide selection of "evergreen" social media and printed materials ready to download and share in our European Hormone Day Public Outreach Toolkit.
