Stand Up and Stand Together Against Migraine
Migraine might be invisible, but the men, women and children living with this disease every day are not. It is time we all stand up, and stand together to bring migraine out of the darkness. The American Migraine Foundation invites the over 1 billion people worldwide living with migraine to join in the fight against this disabling disease, because when we stand together, no one stands alone.
Advocacy Projects From the Emerging Advocate Program
People with migraine are taking ownership of advocating for themselves and others through the Emerging Advocate Program. Here are some projects that our Emerging Advocates created in 2021:
- Empowering College Students Living With Migraine – a two-phase plan to help students with migraine get the appropriate accommodations
- #WhatAboutMe - a social media initiative to raise awareness of the inaccessibility issue of FDA-approved migraine-specific medications
- Migraine in the ER - a project to ensure a more compassionate treatment to migraine patients in the ER
We are excited to see what projects our Emerging Advocates think of this year.
