FIGHT FOR FUNDING
Say “Yes” to Urgent Federal Funding to Prevent & Manage Diabetes
#DiabetesFreeNJ
The Epidemic Behind the Pandemic
With Type 1 diabetes projected to rise by 70% by 2040, and Type 2 diabetes by 60% by 2035, the urgency is real. A staggering 34% of adults in New Jersey live with prediabetes, yet 80% don’t even know it.
This is more than a health issue—it’s a systemic, economic, and community challenge that we can’t afford to ignore.

Sign our Petition for Funding
Fight for the lives of all New Jerseyans. Obesity and diabetes – across every type – are rising at alarming rates, not just in adults – in our children as well. This is more than statistics. These are lives. We cannot allow this condition to keep stealing futures. Act now to protect and expand funding—so every New Jerseyan has access to life-saving diabetes prevention and care.
Stand with us. Tell the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services—and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.— that our futures, and the health of generations to come, depend on the policies and protocols put in place TODAY.
