Ask the Expert: Your Role in Advancing Legislation Through Advocacy (webinar)
May 08, 2024 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
The National Plan to End Parkinson's Act is bipartisan legislation that will, for the first time, unite the federal government in a mission to prevent and cure Parkinson's disease and other Parkinsonisms, including progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's-related dementia. During his presentation, Mason will highlight how CurePSP and the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research collaborate through the Unified Parkinson's Advocacy Council to pass this legislation and how you can get involved.
CurePSP advocacy volunteer Julie Balasalle will also join us for a quick update on how CurePSP has engaged the community in our growing advocacy efforts.
Your personal story goes a long way in helping Congress prioritize preventing and curing these diseases and ensuring quality care for people living with Parkinsonism. We hope you can join us in asking your questions and learning more about how you can help pass the National Plan!
Mason and Julie will have time at the end to answer viewers' questions. Submit your questions via registration or email to events@curepsp.org.
This webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel following the event. We will email all registrants a link when it's ready to view.
Registration is free of charge!
