Grassroots Advocacy Resources

Community Health Centers need your help. Tell Congress to support the highest level of community health center funding in FY 2026.

Act today to secure tomorrow’s health care.

ACH is advancing the Health Center mission by advocating for bold and meaningful health policy changes. We strive to do this by harnessing the power of community health centers to meaningfully impact federal public policy.

No one is more qualified to help guide members of Congress as they create, debate and enact health care legislation than those who deliver quality care to patients every day. Share your story using the resources below.
