                "description": "Annapolis Day is the Maryland Alliance for Advocacy for Sickle Cell’s annual statewide advocacy convening held during the Maryland General Assembly session. The event brings together sickle cell warriors, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, students, and community leaders from across Maryland to engage directly with state lawmakers on legislative priorities affecting individuals living with sickle cell disease.Designed as both an educational and advocacy platform, Annapolis Day provides participants with structured policy briefings, coordinated legislator meetings, and opportunities to share lived experiences that inform evidence-based policymaking. The event highlights critical issues including access to specialized care, healthcare workforce shortages, higher education accommodations, health equity, and systems accountability.Each year, advocates from counties across Maryland participate, demonstrating the statewide impact of sickle cell disease and the broad community support for meaningful reform. Annapolis Day ensures that policymakers hear directly from those most affected—bridging the gap between clinical realities, public health data, and legislative action.By aligning community voice with policy strategy, Annapolis Day strengthens Maryland’s leadership in advancing comprehensive, equitable solutions for sickle cell disease."
