The Brain Injury Association of New York State is organizing another day of action, visibility, and advocacy on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 in Albany.

BIANYS is dedicated to protecting and expanding specialized services for individuals affected by brain injury. We welcome survivors, caregivers, family members, and advocates to share their personal stories, meet with legislators, witness the legislative process, and advocate for increased funding for the Continuum of Care for Resource Facilitation program.

Last year, passionate advocates from across the state gathered at the Capitol to make their voices heard. Let’s build on that momentum in 2025—because together, our voice is stronger!

Register today and be part of the movement!
