Beat arthritis, one minute at a time.

Joint Effort in October

Every number is a person. A family. A community.

For 75 years we’ve been the national voice for people living with arthritis. That hasn’t changed – our resolve to change what these numbers mean has only grown.

The hand is a universal symbol of connection, participation and action.

Offering your hand is understood as an invitation to connect and to help – a gesture that says I see you, I hear you, I’m with you. Across many cultures and movements, offering a hand signals solidarity and collective strength. And as a personal gesture, the hand is welcoming and supportive – something we extend to greet, include and care for others.

Our new mark brings these together: a helping hand, a hand offered in support, and a hand reaching forward – the values at the heart of our advocacy, research and community.
