The Power of Advocacy
AFTD would like to highlight the power of advocacy in contributing to the greater awareness of FTD. This year’s World FTD Awareness Week was filled with contributions large and small by advocates who took their time to create awareness and fundraising events, who posted about FTD and AFTD on social media, and who worked with their legislators to obtain resolutions and proclamations.
Those of you who came together to raise your voice about FTD, we cannot thank you enough.
Resolutions and Proclamations
In the lead-up to World FTD Awareness Week and throughout the week, AFTD’s advocates successfully obtained resolutions in California, Delaware, Massachusetts, og New York.
In addition, you won proclamations in twenty states og seven cities:
States with Proclamations | States with Resolutions | |
Alabama Alabama Arizona Idaho Illinois Iowa Kentucky Maryland Massachusetts Michigan New Jersey New Jersey |
Ohio Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Tennessee Texas Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wisconsin |
Covington, WA Covington, WA Lima, OH Reno, NV Chester, NJ Paris, IL Chicago, IL Forney, TX Forney, TX |
We also want to recognize those states in which advocates attempted the process but were not ultimately successful: California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawai’i, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, and North Carolina. Advocates, we appreciate your efforts!
2025 Resolutions and Proclamations
Even if your city or state did sign a resolution or proclamation in 2024, it only lasts for one year, so please consider working with us toward a new one for World FTD Awareness Week 2025. If you would like to participate, please contact us at advocacy@theaftd.org, and we can help you get started! And if you are not already one, we encourage you to become an advocate. You will join a group of committed individuals determined to raise awareness surrounding FTD.
