Make Your Voice Heard: Join the Parkinson’s National Day of Action!
On Tuesday, September 9, thousands of advocates across the country will unite for one powerful purpose: to demand better support, funding, and care for the Parkinson’s community. Will you be one of them?
This Parkinson’s National Day of Action is your chance to stand together with Act4Parkinsons™, PWR!, and the Michael J. Fox Foundation to make a real difference, without ever leaving your home.
Why It Matters
More than 1 million Americans live with Parkinson’s Disease, the second most common and fastest-growing neurological disorder. Despite its impact, Parkinson’s research and care still face critical funding gaps. By working together, we can help change that.
What You Can Do on September 9
This entirely digital Day of Action makes it easy to participate:
- Send a letter to Congress or Call Capitol Hill, urging lawmakers to protect and expand funding for the National Institutes of Health, critical for Parkinson’s and brain disease research.
- Contact the State and ask your state legislators to prioritize Parkinson’s policies as they prepare for the 2026 legislative session.
- Get social: Share your story using #Act4PD and #Act4Parkinsons. Follow Act4Parkinsons on X and Facebook, we may reshare your post!
- Learn and share: Stay informed about the latest breakthroughs in Parkinson’s research and share them with your community and elected officials.
- Recruit advocates: Invite others to join the Parkinson’s Policy Network at the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Every voice magnifies our impact.
Your Story Matters
No one understands Parkinson’s like those who live with it, care for someone with it, or fight for a cure. Your voice can help Congress prioritize Parkinson’s prevention, research, and care. Your story could be the spark that drives change.
Let’s Rally Together
This September, let’s show lawmakers that the Parkinson’s community is strong, united, and ready to be heard. Mark your calendar, spread the word, and get ready to Act4Parkinsons™.
