College students deserve to feel safe and included on campus -- regardless of their diagnosis.
Every year, thousands of college students suffer from autoimmune diseases in silence. Unclean buildings can pose an invisible threat to these students -- making them sick and causing them to live in fear on their own campus. To make matters worse, many immunocompromised students are unable to get an effective education remotely due to poor remote learning standards. Their grades drop as a result of their diagnosis; often forcing them to drop out in the name of their health.
Double U Triple A's Autoimmune Rights Campus Initiative seeks to change that. We want to empower every student with a safe, clean, and inclusive educational environment. As a campus ambassador, you will create change by:
Advocate for disabled students and faculty on campus to make sure everyone is free to learn or teach in a way that keeps them safe and healthy. No one deserves to drop out of college because of an illness they can’t control.
Coordinate with local and federal advocacy groups to build a coalition of disability groups supporting our movement. The more like-minded groups we can partner with, the more likely we are to change federal law and finally protect the millions of Americans suffering in silence from an autoimmune disease.
Create and maintain a social media movement on their campus to raise awareness about this invisible issue impacting the lives of over 23 million Americans.
