Help us make noise at the Advocacy Forum
Thunderclap is a website that allows us to all send the same message at exactly the same time through Facebook and Twitter. We’ll be using it to amplify our advocates’ voices on Capitol Hill during the Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum — join us by “donating” a tweet or Facebook post on March 25.
Alzheimer’s is the most expensive disease in the United States. It is the only disease in the top 10 killers that cannot be stopped, slowed or prevented.
On March 25, more than 1,000 Alzheimer’s Association advocates from 50 states will flood Capitol Hill to ask Congress for critical funding to fight Alzheimer’s. Add your voice by joining our Thunderclap. The louder our voices, the more awareness we raise. Increased awareness = increased funding for research.
The facts are undeniable. Alzheimer’s can’t wait. The time to act is now!
