Why Advocacy Matters
ALS is a complex and rapidly progressing disease, and individuals living with ALS often face barriers related to healthcare access, insurance coverage, disability benefits, and long-term support. Advocacy helps break down these barriers by shaping policies that provide timely, comprehensive, and compassionate support.
When policymakers understand the urgency and realities of ALS, they are better equipped to enact solutions that make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
The collective voices of the ALS community have already led to significant progress, including:
Increased federal funding for ALS research
Passage of the Medicare waiver for individuals with ALS
Presumptive disability recognition by the Social Security Administration
Service-connected benefits awarded by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans diagnosed with ALS
These victories demonstrate what is possible when the ALS community comes together to advocate for change.

ALS doesn’t stop—and neither do we. By joining our advocacy efforts, you can help create meaningful change. Anyone can be an advocate, and your voice has the power to make an impact.
