Advocacy Overview For so long, psoriasis was a 'silent' disease. Now, the voice of the psoriasis community is being heard in Congress and by health care policymakers. We are working to increase the government's investment in research toward a cure, educate decision-makers about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and improve access to effective treatments. Our success is dependent upon the involvement of people like you. Join the Fair Shake for Psoriasis campaign and let your elected officials know that we need better access to care and a cure!
