APDA Advocacy Alert
APDA served as co-hosts for the 2026 Parkinson’s Policy Forum, held in March in Washington, D.C. Together with the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the Parkinson’s Foundation, and the PMD Alliance, we convened more than 300 people living with PD, care partners, and care providers from 49 states and Washington, D.C. who came with stories of resilience, caregiving, and determination that carried them straight to the offices of their representatives on Capitol Hill. Together, we delivered a clear, unified message to Congress: accelerate research investment, implement the National Parkinson’s Project and address environmental risk factors linked to Parkinson’s disease. As the forum closed, one thing was clear: the voices of the Parkinson’s community have been heard loudly, passionately, and persistently, laying groundwork for progress in the year ahead.
