The Impact of Federal Funding Cuts on Alzheimer's Research
A Video by the VoA Foundation
The VoA Foundation, in partnership with Voices of Alzheimer’s, has released a powerful new video that amplifies the voices of individuals living with Alzheimer’s and related cognitive conditions..
Created to galvanize public awareness and actions, the video confronts the human toll of proposed federal funding cuts to Alzheimer’s research and care, underscoring a growing crisis that could undo decades of hard-won progress.
Produced by the VoA Foundation, the video underscores the emotional and urgent reality: essential research may stall, peer support programs face potential shutdowns, and momentum toward prevention and delay of disease progression could be lost.
To accompany the video, the Voices of Alzheimer’s has launched a downloadable Advocacy Toolkit to help supporters take immediate action. The toolkit includes ready-to-send messages, talking points, and step-by-step guidance for calling, writing, or meeting with Members of Congress. Supporters are also encouraged to share their personal stories on social media and tag @voicesofalz to help raise awareness and drive momentum.
