"As someone living with Parkinson’s, I know how easily communication can be misread in high-stress encounters with law enforcement. The Blue Envelope Programs Act is a way to make those encounters safer, and more respectful.” - Larry Gifford, President of PD Avengers
Rep. Norma Torres@NormaJTorres
Today, I introduced the bipartisan Supporting Blue Envelope Programs Act with @RepRutherfordFL. Blue Envelope Programs work, in the Inland Empire and in 29 states nationwide, helping first responders communicate safely with people with Autism & I/DD. I'm excited to lead this effort to expand them nationwide.

Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing brain disease, but the National Parkinson’s Project is still invisible to patients and families. Dear Congress, #whereisthePDplan

Two years after Congress passed the National Plan to End Parkinson’s and 17 months after it became law, we still haven’t seen a public PD plan. #whereisthePDplan

Hey Friends, if you bought the book “The Parkinson’s Plan” on Amazon and you found that it helped you (or even if it didn’t), I’d really appreciate it if you’d leave an honest review there. Reviews genuinely help others discover books and shape how visible they are. Thanks!

🚨 5 fake “Parkinson’s Plan Workbooks” are scamming readers on Amazon. Drs. Okun & Dorsey did NOT write or approve them. Many in the PD community are being duped. Report & share! #ParkinsonsPlan #EndParkinsons

Thanks to our 100 volunteers and the 650+ buildings that sparked blue on April 11 for World Parkinson's Day "Spark the Night 2025." This was a great show of unity and solidarity for the Parkinson's community.
