Taking Action! How to Advocate for People with Parkinson’s

As people with Parkinson’s and their family members know, we are our own best advocates. After all, no one knows the needs of people with PD better than those who live with it every day. Sharing your story with lawmakers can help them understand how policy decisions impact the PD community. Anyone can be an effective advocate!

In this online event with Julia Pitcher, Director of US State Government Relations for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, you’ll learn how to advocate, and the impact that taking action can have across the community.
