Welcome Advocates to the Huntington's Disease Society of America's (HDSA) national advocacy online newsletter, which will contain regular updates on pending legislation as well as helpful tips for making home office visits, ways to contact your elected officials and much more.

HDSA is committed to educating our elected officials as well as medical and community leaders about the needs of our HD families.

HDSA asks that you take prompt action to ensure that our voice is heard by elected officials in Washington DC. We can make a difference not only in our lives, but in the lives of all those struggling against genetic diseases now and in the future.
