What is Advocacy and why is it important?
Advocate: noun
/ˈadvəkət/
1. a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy.
ALS Arizona is championing policies aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals living with ALS, as well as their families and caregivers. Our advocacy efforts are firmly grounded in the voices and needs of those affected by ALS, as we strive to support and improve their daily lives.
Our strength emanates from the active engagement of ALS patients and their families in the advocacy process, which has yielded significant achievements such as increased federal funding for ALS research, the successful passage of the Medicare waiver for ALS patients, the establishment of presumptive disability recognition by the Social Security Administration, and award of Service Connected Veteran’s benefits from the VA to Veterans of the armed forces who are diagnosed with ALS.
How You Can Help
ALS doesn’t stop—and neither do we. To expand our impact and strengthen our advocacy efforts, we need your support.
Our advocates work tirelessly to engage government officials at every level—local, state, and federal—to increase awareness and improve resources for people affected by ALS.
Your voice matters. Anyone can be an advocate, and your outreach can open doors to meaningful change. ALS Arizona advocates help shape the laws and policies that impact all people living with ALS and their families.
