Elevate the narrative of why this is urgent to the public and media.
Make the case for a Center of Excellence in plain language that connects domestic biomanufacturing to supply security and practical capability-building. Use a communications campaign that explains “how to manufacture” capacity (not just research) and keeps the message tied to the bill’s concrete next steps. Package the story under broader themes already present in the cause materials—health security, jobs, and innovation—without overclaiming outcomes.
Why this works
- Strong public support and understanding can push Congress to act.
- If voters hear “we might rely on China for cancer drugs if we don’t act,” that creates pressure.
- Also, highlighting local benefits (like “this could bring 1,000 jobs to our state”) wins hearts and minds.
- It's also a feel-good bipartisan story for media - “Congress actually agrees on something: making life-saving medicines in America.”
