Public Policy Priorities

Our advocacy work focuses on educating and mobilizing members of Congress and the Administration in a nonpartisan way to achieve our mission of discovering new treatments and a cure for ALS, and serving, advocating for and empowering people living with ALS to live their lives to the fullest.

ALS United Mid-Atlantic is aggressively advocating for legislative priorities that will help to:

Find New Treatments and Cures

Optimize Current Treatments and Care

Prevent or Delay the Harms of ALS

Find New Treatments and Cures:

Federal funding for ALS research must be expanded exponentially to provide new treatment options to cure and prevent ALS. Federal research dollars need to be focused on discoveries that will improve the lives of people living with ALS today, while we search for ways to end ALS.

Optimize Current Treatments and Care

The federal government must ensure coverage of new ALS treatments.

Prevent or Delay the Harms Associated with ALS

Congress must act to improve the lives of people living with ALS their loved ones by supporting policies that will positively impact their lives.
