Good news for everyone who’s been concerned about genetic information and privacy! The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) will provide important protections against the misuse of genetic information. This is very important legislation. To ensure the passage of this legislation, GINA’s sponsors need support from the people it affects — us.

The Genetic Alliance is collecting letters of support to help build momentum in Congress. You can use one of their sample letters or draft your own. Then email, fax or mail your letter to the Genetic Alliance offices by January 22.

GINA’s sponsors in the House and Senate have been championing genetic nondiscrimination on the Hill for over a decade. So they really deserve a thank you, too.
