Take action in the fight against Alzheimer’s.
In this year’s election, Americans across the country spoke up to let candidates know that Alzheimer’s disease is an escalating concern. We must keep that momentum going so that Alzheimer’s continues to be a national priority.
Please sign this petition to urge our policymakers to address the Alzheimer’s crisis.
As the leading advocate for federal Alzheimer’s disease research funding and caregiver support, the Alzheimer’s Association and its tireless advocates have made it a longstanding legislative priority to increase funding for Alzheimer’s research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Actions from supporters like you have made a significant impact. For example, in 2015, Congress approved a historic $350 million increase for Alzheimer’s disease research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), thanks to Alzheimer’s Association advocates.
But our work is far from over. Unless we make significant advances, by 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer’s disease may triple from more than 5 million to a 16 million. We can’t allow this to happen.
Policymakers can help us move closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease by passing legislation that will enhance care and support services and increase federal research funding. But we need your help to continue to raise concern and awareness of Alzheimer’s among elected leaders.
Take a stand in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Sign the petition today.
