Let’s put on purple to raise awareness on World Lupus Day. ACR fights lupus! 💜 #ACRFightsLupus #POP #PutOnPurple #WorldLupusDay #MakeLupusVisible @LupusInitiative

🌍 May 10 is #WorldLupusDay — a moment to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and support those living with lupus. Join us later this month at #LUPUS2025 in Toronto to advance the science and care behind this complex disease. 💜 #LupusAwareness

Today is #WorldLupusDay, a day dedicated to raising awareness about lupus - a serious and potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease affecting millions worldwide. While progress in research and treatment is ongoing, continued efforts are crucial for advancing care and finding a cure. Join us in spreading awareness by educating your peers, supporting those affected, and wearing purple today and throughout #LupusAwarenessMonth.
