National Political Action Organizing Campaign*
For Our Monthly "We Are Everywhere" Action Plan Click Here.
Because
we aim, along with other parents, to be a 'potent national force' and
believe parents are the best advocates for their children,
A-CHAMP is building its grass-roots activist network to achieve
maximum impact on the political process.
A-CHAMP State Coordinators will work to organize parents in their state
to empower parents. We aim to make parents the best advocates for
ourselves and for our children. We will organize on the local level;
the combination of all the effots by A-CHAMP District Leaders on the
state and local level will maximize our collective effort on the
national level.
A-CHAMP District Leaders will:
•Be the primary contact for our efforts on the Congressional District Level
•Coordinate A-CHAMP campaigns among parents in their Districts
(Click Here To See A-CHAMP's "Tips For Talking With Legislators")
•Help formulate A-CHAMP legislative policy on the local and national level
•Be the Primary media contact at the local level
•Work with other autism and related advocacy organizations so that we can be:
