Our mission is to improve the quality of life for BIPOC who are affected by IBD, Digestive Disorders and associated Chronic Illnesses; through Community, Research, Education, and Advocacy.

Advocacy Group Tasks

Program and Workshop Ideas

We know that you’re in the trenches, an extension of our eyes and ears, so we’re very open to topics that will benefit and education the community. If you have any ideas on an advocacy workshop or program we can host for community members, please email the required items below to events@colorofgi.org:

  • Title (what we can call the program or workshop)
  • Description (concept or details)
  • Format (single speaker, interactive panel, etc.)
  • Note: These concepts must be for virtual purposes until we can expand this option.

State and Federal Events List

Each ambassador should search and then enter a minimum of two (2) submissions per state. If you find more, I welcome them. Again, because we’ve also expanded our disease spaces, we are open to events that have a broad advocacy focus or events that are focused on specific disease spaces like IBD, IBS, Celiac, Short Bowel Syndrome, or Colorectal Cancer. Please look to our Advocacy Focus page to help you understand what our priorities are. There are a few additional priorities being added as well and should be available within the next week.
