AAFP’s Speak Out
Use Speak Out to stay informed on the issues that matter most to your patients and your practice, spread the word to your colleagues, view current congressional schedules, and – most important – view your federal and state legislators and voice your opinion to them.
Grassroots Advocacy for Family Medicine
You can make a difference during the summer congressional recess. In the coming weeks, congressional legislators will travel to their communities to learn what is important for their constituents through town hall meetings and time spent with community leaders. AAFP encourages all members to interact with these legislators to keep family medicine in a prominent position. Send a form letter, schedule time for legislators to visit your practice, plan to attend a town hall meeting, or attend other events.
