National and State Advocacy Initiatives

ALS advocates use their voices and experience to inform legislators about the critical needs of people living with ALS, their families and caregivers. 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 join together as ALS advocates, we can make real change happen.
