Thank you @repbarragan.bsky.social for speaking out and fighting for research to #EndALZ. The 720,000 Californians living with the disease need you to keep fighting for them!

Congresswoman Nanette Barragán @repbarragan.bsky.social · Jun 24

Centers across the country are losing millions in funding for Alzheimer’s research — but Secretary Kennedy is blissfully unaware.

This funding is so critical for advancements in prevention, early diagnosis, and access to care for millions of Americans who are looking for hope.
