“Recovery Voices Count” in Pennsylvania
Published April 11, 2008
Recovery Voices Count is one part of a national movement to make it possible for even more of our friends, neighbors and family members to experience long-term recovery from addiction by building recognition of the recovery community as a constituency of consequence. Growing numbers of recovery community organizations and recovery advocates across the country are getting involved in nonpartisan voting activities so that their voices can be heard in the local, state, and national arenas. As we register voters, educate candidates for public office about key issues, and turn out voters in growing numbers, we will have an even greater impact on the lives of people who still need help with their addiction, people in long-term recovery, and their family members.
PRO-ACT is the Pennsylvania coordinator for the Recovery Voices Count project. We are looking for volunteers who would like to help with this effort. Your involvement in this campaign can be large or small. Some suggestions for participation include:
- Host a registration drive at your facility or another location.
- Volunteer at a registration table.
- Provide a staff member or someone who would like to volunteer.
- Participate at a future town hall meeting.
- Get involved in future presentations with candidates/local officials.
- Volunteer on the Recovery Voices Count committee.
- Submit suggestions that may enhance the registration project.
Please contact us to get involved.
National resources for this campaign are provided by Faces and Voices of Recovery. Visit the Recovery Voices Count campaign homepage to download handouts and presentations, watch videos, and order campaign tools such as buttons, stickers, and t-shirts. A link is also provided to prepare a Pennsylvania voter registration form online.
