Community leaders from across the country, including the Washington, D.C., metro area, are headed to Capitol Hill, Feb. 7th to meet with U.S. Senators and representatives from nearly 50 states to educate them about critical substance abuse issues. These Congressional meetings were scheduled as a part of CADCA\u2019s (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America) 28th Annual National Leadership Forum, the nation\u2019s largest training event for substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals and researchers.<\/p>\n

\u201cCapitol Hill Day is a vital opportunity for Forum attendees to communicate directly with their Congressional representatives to educate them about the successes and challenges facing our field and reiterate what legislators can do to advance prevention efforts,\u201d said Gen. Arthur T. Dean, CADCA Chairman & CEO. \u201cWe are bringing the \u201cboots on the ground\u201d to Upper Senate Park and Capitol Hill with the knowledge of what communities are facing every day in this drug crisis and partnering with our nation\u2019s legislators for prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis rally will get CADCA\u2019s 3,000 attendees pumped up to educate their Members of Congress about effective community-based solutions to all the substance use issues they are facing locally,\u201d shared Sue Thau, CADCA Public Policy Consultant.<\/p>\n

Capitol Hill Day kicks off with a plenary session and roundtable discussion followed by a rally at Upper Senate Park. The purpose of the rally is to raise awareness about the importance and impact of substance use prevention generally and community coalitions specifically in reducing the pipeline to addiction. Several distinguished members of Congress will provide remarks at each event. The day concludes with Congressional appointments for Forum attendees to interact directly with Senate and Congressional representatives.<\/p>\n
