Hi Faith, So many of us have family and friends who suffer from diabetes. It's a hard disease to manage and is made even tougher by the skyrocketing costs of insulin. Insulin is not optional for our loved ones. But there is hope. People living with diabetes and their allies around the country are using Change.org to build a people powered movement that's pushing back against billion-dollar pharmaceutical companies and their lobbyists. People just like you are changing laws, and saving lives, state-by-state. |

Julia was inspired by the new law passed in Colorado, so she launched a petition demanding her Wisconsin state legislature pass a statewide price cap on monthly insulin costs. Her petition grows more every day. |
|
 |
|
Matt, a Florida resident with type 1 diabetes, also thinks his state can do better. He's asking elected officials to step up so that Floridians don't have to choose between buying insulin or having a roof over their heads. |

Marietta, a mom in Tennessee, is putting the pressure on pharmaceutical giants like Eli Lilly. She believes Big Pharma should do the right thing for her son and millions of other diabetics by making insulin pricing transparent and fair. There are dozens of petitions just like these — and they are all making a difference. Here at Change.org we believe when Julia, Matt, Marietta can connect and build a movement with people like you, anything is possible. Yes, you. That's why today we are excited to announce Insulin For All. Change.org's new Insulin For All will bring together petitions from around the country that believe everyone who needs insulin to live should be able to afford it. |

Insulin For All allows you to see how people are taking action, support them with your signature, and keep up to date on the fight for fair insulin access and pricing — all in one place. Insulin For All will also give you the ability to see responses on the issue from elected officials and pharmaceutical companies. Most importantly, you'll be able to join in the movement by starting your own petition and sharing your thoughts about how we can make insulin accessible for millions of people with diabetes. |

Richard, a petition starter from Tennessee who believes his kid and millions of other diabetics should always have the life-sustaining medicine they need, said it best: |

Thanks for making this another powerful movement. We know anything is possible when people like you stand together and speak out. |
