Everyone can be an advocate.
Headache disorders are a cause with a tremendous need for support. Advocacy can take many forms. What matters most is your choice to take action.
Take Action in Support of the HEADACHE Act
It’s time to make headache disorders impossible to ignore. Over 40 million Americans live with migraine and other disabling headache conditions, yet these diseases remain deeply stigmatized, underdiagnosed, and underfunded. The HEADACHE Act would create a coordinated federal initiative to expand research, improve care, reduce disparities, and raise public awareness.
Join the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy and urge your Members of Congress to support this historic legislation and show that every person living with headache deserves to be seen, heard, and supported.

Become an Advocate
Advocacy is different for everyone. Self-advocacy can mean speaking up about your needs. Individual advocacy might involve educating others. Systems-based advocacy, like the AHDA, seeks change that affects millions of people. You might be asked to sign a petition, call or send an email to your legislators, or create a testimonial video to show policymakers what it’s like to live with your condition.
