Advocacy volunteers If you feel passionate about the Alzheimer’s cause and want the world to know, you will make a great advocacy volunteer! You don’t have to be experienced in advocacy (we teach you that!) just a desire to become involved in policy. Advocates help us influence legislators and the Federal and State level by sending emails, writing letters and calling or visiting legislators. You can respond to action alerts from the comfort of your own home, attend advocacy events, visit legislators in home district offices and assist in the identifying of new advocates.
