August is ALS Advocacy Action Month, an opportunity for you to join with other advocates in your own home state and push for changes in policies that affect the lives of people with ALS.
Throughout this month, grassroots ALS advocates from across the United States will engage with key members of Congress who are decision makers on federal appropriations for ALS research. Advocates will share their personal experience with ALS and urge members of Congress to increase funding of critical research to find new treatments and a cure.
Here are eight easy ways you can get involved and help make change for people living with ALS and their families.
Share Your Story
As an ALS advocate, you can build relationships with your lawmakers that can help advance legislation, create and improve policies, and change laws to help the thousands of people living with ALS.
When we share our stories as ALS advocates, we can make real change happen.
