AFTD Advocacy

An advocate engages and educates elected officials on key issues. Whatever your political affiliation, our advocates are just like you – people who care about FTD, who want their elected officials to do more to address the impact of this disease, and who are ready to make a difference. 

We advocate for legislative, policy, and regulatory changes to improve quality of care and quality of life for people with FTD and their families through:     

• improving dementia care and services; ensuring they are inclusive of FTD disorders 
• increasing access to dementia diagnosis and community-based care 
• expanding funding for medical research and public programs serving people with dementia and their caregivers 

Now is the time to join us in persuading our policymakers to take direct action on these crucial matters.
