Make Lupus Visible
Lupus is a complex autoimmune disease affecting millions worldwide, with no known cure and often devastating impacts on daily life. Each year on May 10, communities across the globe unite for World Lupus Day to raise awareness, advocate for better care, and support those living with lupus. Led by the World Lupus Federation, this day highlights a shared global challenge.
There are several ways that you can join people from all over the globe raising lupus awareness on World Lupus Day, including:
- Join the global lupus community to share your lupus story on social media, and post images of our lupus facts along with sample messages located on this toolkit webpage. Use the hashtags #WorldLupusDay and #MakeLupusVisible
- Wear your favorite purple items, and share photos on social media
- Make a statement by lighting up a building or significant landmark in your town to be illuminated in the color purple
