Feeling the feels after a beautiful day on the Hill—I am proud of myself and my fellow advocates for showing up today, and every day of every year, fighting the good fight for those that we love and have lost to Alzheimer’s. We will never stop until we #ENDALZ for good.

Early Alzheimer's detection means more time, more planning, and more options. The #ASAPAct helps us get there. @RepThomasMassie, please urge Leadership to include ASAP in the year-end package! #ENDALZ

The bipartisan #ASAPAct supports innovation in dementia care by accelerating access to blood tests for Alzheimer's detection. As a cosponsor, @janschakowsky, please help us get ASAP across the finish line by the end of this year! #ENDALZ
More than half of Congress has cosponsored the bipartisan #ASAPAct, which will accelerate access to early detection of Alzheimer's. Thank you, @janschakowsky, for cosponsoring this critical bill. Now please help us get it across the finish line by the end of the year! #ENDALZ

Blood tests that can detect Alzheimer's already exist. But Medicare is legally barred from covering them for screening. The #ASAPAct fixes that, and @RepUnderwood, is helping us unlock access by cosponsoring this bill! #ENDALZ

🎉 Our very own Illinois advocate, Adam Nielsen, is @alzimpact's October Advocate of the Month!
Adam spent his career lobbying for Illinois farmers. Today he's back in the halls of Congress, this time sharing his own Alzheimer's story & urging lawmakers to pass the bipartisan #ASAPAct.
💜 "It's a lot scarier hiding it than being open. Not talking about it doesn't change the disease."
Thank you, Adam, for using your voice & sharing your story to help families facing this disease. We're honored to stand alongside you & Dayna in the fight to #ENDALZ!

A simple blood test 🩸 can detect Alzheimer’s early, and the bipartisan Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act ensures people benefit from this scientific milestone. Message your representatives today. bit.ly/442ieIq #ASAPAct

On Banned Books week, we celebrate the value of academic freedom & open access to information.
Books should never be banned for covering topics of racism, equity, & social justice. Censoring books suppresses free speech and has no place in a democracy.
When Congress made it possible for Medicare to cover mammograms, screening rates went up and deaths went down. We can create that same moment for Alzheimer's. @janschakowsky, please urge House leadership to move the #ASAPACT! #ENDALZ
More than 9 in 10 Americans want a blood test to detect Alzheimer's, and the bipartisan #ASAPAct can deliver this exciting advancement. @janschakowsky, as an ASAP cosponsor, please tell House leadership to move this bill and help us revolutionize Alzheimer's care! #ENDALZ
People see the greatest benefits from Alz treatments when they begin them in the early stages of the disease, making early detection essential. As an #ASAPAct cosponsor, @janschakowsky, you are accelerating access to these critical treatments! #ENDALZ

Alzheimer’s is an issue that unites us all 💜
Adam was thrilled to see @RepNikkiB at a City Club of Chicago event focused on bipartisan collaboration. The fight against Alzheimer’s shows that when we work together, bipartisan solutions are possible.
