At Partnership to End Addiction, we have done the research and have the expertise to suggest what changes are needed to effectively respond to the addiction crisis. We know what needs to be done, but we can’t do it alone. Join the community of other advocates who are breaking down barriers and working to transform how our nation addresses addiction. Together, we can do this.

At least ten of the bills for which we had action alerts were at least in part included in this law. This is in large part thanks to the help of our advocates who shared their stories and signed action alerts to ensure Congress knew the importance and urgency of enacting these policies.
We encourage you to continue this advocacy by taking a moment to send a letter to your members of Congress to thank them for including important addiction-related provisions in the Consolidated Appropriations Act and encouraging them to continue to make addressing addiction a priority in the new session:
