    Illinois Chapter Advocacy

    Illinois Chapter Advocacy
    Advocates in Illinois write emails, attend local policy events, post to social media, and meet with their elected officials across Illinois and Washington, D.C. They take action to urge lawmakers to pass bipartisan legislation that helps families living with Alzheimer’s and other dementia and to ask for more research funding to end this disease — once and for all.

    Become an advocate and help advance public policies that continue to make Alzheimer’s a local and national priority.

    Working with the Alzheimer's Impact Movement (AIM), a separately incorporated advocacy affiliate, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Illinois Chapter fight for critical research, prevention and care initiatives at the federal and state levels. From increased research funding to improving Alzheimer’s care and support policies, we aim to advance critical federal and state policy priorities.

    Contact Congress

    Advocates are urging Congress to build upon the past decade of progress by updating and expanding the work of the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA), which has paved the way for our nation to address Alzheimer's and other dementia. Ask Congress to take action.
