Alzheimer's disease and other dementia is one of the most critical public health issues in the United States. This is why the Alzheimer's Association is unrelentingly advocating for public policies that increase critical research funding and support all those affected. Now is the time to join us. Become an advocate and help persuade policymakers at the state and federal level to make Alzheimer's and other dementia a national priority.

As a volunteer advocate, you’ll make your voice heard, drive policymakers to address Alzheimer’s and other dementia, and improve the lives of everyone affected by Alzheimer’s. Your level of commitment is completely flexible to fit your schedule, style and skills.

  • Do you want to share your personal experience as a caregiver? You can share your story with your elected officials and tell them how they can help.
  • Are you active on social media? You can share your story on Twitter or Facebook and tag elected officials asking them to help on our issues.
  • Do you have a few minutes in your day to write? You can submit letters to the editor to your local newspaper about your story, asking others to contact their elected officials for help.

These are just a few examples. Connect with us and let’s figure out what works for you!
