The Historic National Mall Installation

Every day, millions of Americans live with migraine and headache disorders—which can be debilitating neurological conditions that impact their ability to work, go to school, care for their families, and simply live their lives. Yet, these diseases remain underfunded, misunderstood, and ignored by policymakers and the public. Due to the high prevalence, burden of disease, and days lived with disability, this is an invisible public health crisis.

This historic National Mall Installation will make the invisible visible.

From June 1-14, 2025, we are bringing this crisis to the forefront in Washington, D.C. through a powerful visual display representing the millions affected. This first-of-its-kind installation for migraine and headache disorders will stand as a bold call to action—demanding better access to care, more research funding, and policies that reflect the true impact of these conditions. simultaneous pop-up installations and events will be occurring across the United States.

A Little Help Can Make A Big Change.

The Headache Alliance is spearheading a groundbreaking initiative to visually and emotionally depict the widespread impact of headache and migraine disorders, affecting over 40 million Americans. A large-scale flag installation will take place at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in June 2025, during Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. This installation, near the nation’s Capitol, will symbolize the millions of Americans affected by these debilitating conditions.

The Flags for Headache Installation is important to me because for too long headache disorder care and research have been dismissed or overlooked. This installation raises awareness and makes these disabling diseases impossible to ignore.
