■ National Advocacy Campaign
The Legal Action Center (LAC) and State Associations of Addiction Services (SAAS) have joined forces to launch the National Advocacy Campaign, our major new national initiative to educate policymakers and advocate for public policy reform at the federal, state, and local levels to achieve two over-arching goals:
- Eliminate discrimination against people in recovery from addiction who are fully qualified for employment, insurance, housing, education, and life’s other necessities.
- Greatly expand and improve the availability and quality of prevention, treatment, and recovery support services, and increase research and the application of recovery-focused scientific findings in communities across the country
