ADVOCACY

As an American Heart Association supporter and community member, you have a powerful voice. You have already demonstrated your commitment to our issues. As a professional, you have credibility and expertise about heart disease and stroke in your community that will be listened to and respected. Elected officials are often farmers, bankers and businessmen and women; they need your expertise to help them make smart decisions about how to make their communities healthier places to live, work, eat and play. Who better to do this than a friend of the AHA; especially one that also lives in their community? The AHA’s You're the Cure network is nationwide network of professionals, survivors, caregivers and others dedicated to keeping the state and country we live in a safe and healthy place to live.

Our Advocacy staff keeps a close eye on what is happening in each State Capitol and many City Halls. When legislation that pertains to the AHA’s mission is in need of your support, you will receive timely emails from us, asking you to take action. Simply click on the link in the email which will take you to a letter that you can edit or personalize. When you click “Send Letter” it will be emailed directly to your legislators. It’s that easy. Please know that we are sensitive to your time – we only send out emails when pertinent and necessary. You’re the Cure Advocates will spend as much time as they are able and desire to commit to You’re the Cure. Advocates will receive and are encouraged to respond to 1 to 3 online action alerts a month and will occasionally be invited to attend advocacy events, phone or meet with lawmakers, write letters to the editor, or other activities to advance policy goals. Advocates are only expected to respond to these requests as their time allows. Join You're the Cure today!(link opens in new window)
