As a health care professional who treats addiction, you understand the impact that federal and state legislation has on your practice and your patients. At ASAM, we are committed to elevating the voices of addiction medicine among key policymakers - but we need your help. If you have connections to lawmakers, or you are interested in building advocacy relationships with policymakers, please consider applying below to join the ASAM Addiction Medicine Action Network (AMAN), ASAM's grasstops program! This new grasstops program will launch in early 2021! You must be an ASAM member to apply.
Advocacy Trainings
As a member of the AMAN, you will have access to live presentations briefing you on ASAM's policy priorities, tips for interacting with legislators, and other important subjects. All ASAM members, and AMAN members who missed the live trainings, can access them on our e-learning center here.
As an AMAN member, you will:
- Establish and maintain positive working relationships with members of Congress and other key officials
- Engage in advocacy and media trainings and access helpful advocacy tools and resources
- Receive technical assistance from ASAM advocacy staff to develop an individualized advocacy work plan
Resources (Coming Soon!)
AMAN members may access tools to empower their advocacy here.
