Emily Muller
Emily Muller (born 4 April 1999) is a
disability rights activist from Chicago. Her focus revolves largely around
psychosocial issues that impact seriously ill children and young adults, and
legislation that affects
rare disease patients. She began her activism at the age of thirteen after creating the website ''Emily's Fight''. She has spoken at events such as the SHINE conference, Starlight Midwest Gala, Nikki Rich premiere, Rare Disease Legislative Advocates, and has given a
TEDx Talk. She is also a contributor to ''The Mighty.'' During the summer of 2016 she advocated the passage of the 21st Century Cures Act by using
Internet activism in support of the bill. When the
21st Century Cures Act passed the Senate in 2016, Muller was recognized by the
United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce for her work promoting the legislation.
