As an ALS Association Advocate, you can help change the laws and policies that affect thousands of persons with ALS and their families.

An ALS advocate is:

  • Someone who is passionate to be a foot soldier in the battle to defeat ALS.
  • Someone who feels moved to get involved with government at all levels to draw awareness and resources to the people affected by this disease.
  • Someone who is willing to step outside of their comfort zone to effect real change in the way our government responds to the needs of the ALS community.

  • Participating in an in-district meeting with your member of Congress or state legislator
  • Writing a letter to the editor for your local paper
