You can help with Alzheimer's research funding

Dear Reader:

Congress has proposed the first significant increase in funding for Alzheimer research in five years. The increase would push funding to approximately $662 million and keep pace with medical research inflation.
Unfortunately, Congress may not bring the bill with the proposed increase for Alzheimer research funding to a vote before adjourning for the election in November.

Your lawmakers are home in August and are listening to their constituents. Demand that they vote for the proposed funding increase for Alzheimer research when they return to Washington DC in September!

Take Action:

Email your Senators and Representative. Demand a vote on the Labor/Health & Human Services/ Education Appropriations bill (S 3230)!

Use our Write Congress tool to send your message.

Remember to personalize the email by adding a few words on why Alzheimer research matters to you.

To learn more about our progress towards increasing Alzheimer research funding, see our monthly Federal Update.
