Make a Difference Today

Together, we are stronger. That is why we are asking you to join us in advocating for policies that advance biomedical research, ensure that safe and effective treatments are developed and delivered as quickly as possible, improve access to care and services, and maximize opportunities for independence.

Whether you are living with a muscle debilitating disease, or love someone who is. Whether you are a researcher, a health care provider,  a teacher, or a community leader. We need your help. MDA advocates are actively engaged in every state across the nation, and in almost every U.S. Congressional district. With your help, we will continue to make a positive impact.

Please take a moment to explore MDA’s advocacy pages to learn more about policies and issues that impact our community, and ways you can get involved. Every MDA advocate is essential to progress, and everyone is welcome. We hope that you will join us in making a difference today.
