Become an advocate in the fight to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia
Alzheimer's disease is one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. More than seven million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and that number is expected to rise dramatically in the coming years. Families across the nation face the emotional, physical and financial toll of this devastating disease every day.
Advocacy is how we change that future. By raising your voice, you help ensure that elected officials make Alzheimer's and dementia a national priority. Together, we can secure critical research funding, improve access to care and support, and work toward our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
What advocates do
As an Alzheimer's Association advocate, you join a powerful network of volunteers who speak up for change. Advocates:
-
Share their personal stories with lawmakers to make dementia more than a statistic.
-
Urge Congress to increase federal funding for Alzheimer's and dementia research.
-
Support policies that expand access to quality care and services.
-
Mobilize communities by raising awareness and encouraging others to take action.
You do not need prior experience in policy or advocacy. What matters most is your commitment to making a difference. Every voice strengthens our movement.
The impact of advocacy
Advocates have already helped achieve historic progress:
-
Annual federal funding for Alzheimer's and dementia research has grown to more than $3.8 billion.
-
Establish and implement national and state public policy plans to accelerate research and improve care and support services.
-
Bipartisan support has advanced new initiatives to improve care, support and early detection.
These victories happened because ordinary people stood up and spoke out. With more advocates, we can build on this momentum and drive even greater change.
