Recovery Voices Count 2010

Home About Organizing Tools Resources In Action!

Welcome to Recovery Voices Count 2010! If you are interested in what it takes to organize the millions of Americans in long term recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs to demonstrate their power on Election Day, then you’ve come to the right place. The Recovery Voices Count campaign is part of our ongoing work to build a powerful advocacy movement of people in recovery, their family members, friends, and allies by supporting nonpartisan civic engagement in local, state, and national elections.

The goal is simple: to support recovery community organizations and their communities in developing and sustaining a constituency of consequence—an organized voice of people in recovery who are educated on key issues, vote on Election Day, and hold elected officials accountable long after the polls close.

In these pages you will find all the resources you need to begin building your local Recovery Voice Counts campaign. The Organizing Tools, Resources, and Samples are designed for you to learn from, adapt and use, so go ahead, try them out! Let me know what you think of the materials and keep me posted on your events.

2010 will be a great year for organizing and the time to get started is now. Our constituency of consequence is growing bigger, stronger, and more organized. Join us!
