We’re building a movement.
TAC tracks state and federal legislation with the ability to improve treatment accessibility, outcomes, and life for people affected by severe mental illness, but it’s the boots on the ground that push that legislation over the finish line. If you want to be a part of our work, let us help you connect with others who are signed up to work on issues you care about the most.
State Grassroots Action
Starting with a small number of pilot programs, we are building up capacity to support state grassroots advocacy networks. Over time, our goal is to have a robust and organized grassroots network in each state able to become a powerful force for change for our allies and advocates on the ground. For those living in a state without an active pilot yet, we still organize, track bills, and provide action alerts for those on our list, so we encourage you to fill out our survey to let us know that you’re ready to take action. You’ll be the first to know when a pilot is ready to launch in your state!
Connect with other advocates:
If you’re interested in getting in touch with other local advocates or want to get involved with national campaigns on subjects you’re passionate about, we can help! TAC has a nationwide advocacy network on Facebook that you can join to connect with other advocates. And while most SMI is governed by state laws, we are also working to organize campaigns on national issues (like IMD repeal, HIPAA reform efforts, and federal legislation). We maximize our impact by working together!
