Brief Description of Event: The Future of Neurodegenerative Advocacy: Collaboration, Science, and Shared Goals
Date: Wednesday, January 28, 2026
Time: 3:00 – 4:00 PM ET
The rapidly evolving science of neurodegenerative diseases is revealing extensive overlap of both symptoms and biology among different disorders. One example is genetic factors shared by ALS and FTD; another is the growing evidence that multiple pathologies may underlie many cases of neurodegenerative disease.

This growing evidence of intersection among neurodegenerative diseases makes collaboration across advocacy organizations more essential than ever. By working together, we can strengthen our collective ability to advance policy and legislative solutions that address the challenges our communities face.

Register today for our webinar on January 28 at 3:00 p.m. ET to hear from several partner organizations with whom we collaborate through coalitions and joint advocacy efforts to improve the lives of people impacted by neurological diseases. Please register if you’re unable to attend and would like to receive the recording by email.
