WASHIGNTON, D.C. (August 14, 2020)—The success of last month’s House Congressional letter with 101 signatures is the latest example of the powerful influence and importance of grassroots advocacy. AAHomecare and the industry would not have secured such strong support during a tumultuous time on The Hill were it not for the groundswell of grassroots advocates like yourself who answered the call to action.
AAHomecare and VGM are spearheading the Grassroots Accountability Project (GAP) in partnership with the state and regional HME associations to secure HME advocates for all 535 federal legislative offices who will educate and engage legislators on HME industry issues of importance. Over 31 states have 100% representation to date, and AAHomecare seeks additional input
Click here to watch a short video explaining the GAP along with this overview.
Joining the GAP and getting involved is easy and effective. Members will receive grassroots actions needed, provide the background and suggested talking points, outline the specific requests for your legislator(s), and provide support as needed. The goal is to make this a turnkey experience for you.
You don’t need to be politically involved or know a lot about politics to be an advocate. You just need to be passionate about your business, the HME industry and the people you serve!
To join the GAP or for more information, please contact Ashley Plauché by Monday, August 31st at ashleyp@aahomecare.org.
