Advocacy education is an important function of the ABC. ABC is committed to staying abreast of brain and health related federal policy issues.
- The ABC has created a White Paper that our members can use both as a handout to Members of Congress and to educate themselves about ABC's stance on key public policy priorities.
- Based on our policy issues, the ABC regularly provides statements and letters in support of or opposition of legislative bills.
- The ABC relies on our Advocacy Committee, comprised of experts and passionate members dedicated to advancing the ABC’s policy agenda, to help us determine key legislative issues that ABC should be advocating for.
- The ABC offers our members an online legislative action center, which allows members to easily contact their Senator or Member of Congress.
- The ABC signs on to opportunities sent by like-minded coalitions or other organizations that might be coordinating an effort on a piece of legislation.
- The American Brain Coalition has teamed up with the Congressional Neuroscience Caucus in hosting and organizing briefings on Capitol Hill that focus on neuroscience and brain disease.
