Petition updateAn Open Letter to the American Diabetes Association: Shame on You

Notice of Boycott of the American Diabetes Association

To the more than 8,000 of you who signed our “Open letter” to the ADA on Change.org over the past three months, we must inform you that the ADA’s actions (or, more accurately, inaction) have only made matters worse.

In light of this, we have drafted a new letter to the ADA Board expressing our frustration and announcing a boycott of ADA activities until meaningful action is taken. This letter is now available as a petition on Change.org: ​https://www.change.org/NoticeBoycottADA

Please use this link to sign the petition. 

If you signed the original petition, we encourage you to add your name to this new, more specific pledge to boycott ADA activities until these issues are resolved.

We recognize that this is a major step, but we see no other course if we hope to restore the ADA as an effective, sound organization that represents clinicians and scientists and especially the interests of people with diabetes.
