Get Involved

Welcome to HOPA’s Advocacy Center. Grassroots advocacy can be one of the most influential tools that organizations and associations have. Through mass emails, letter writing campaigns, and phone calls, grassroots advocates can bring issues to the attention of legislators.

We understand that you are busy with other important priorities and responsibilities and may not follow Washington too closely… and that’s fine! That is why we created the HOPA Advocacy Toolkit. You will find in it easy to follow tips and resources to get involved, such as:  Issue Briefs, Talking Points, and the  Legislative Action Center which provides a way to regularly contact your legislators regarding issues of importance to hematology/oncology pharmacy and establish yourself as a resource for Members of Congress.

Here are some highlights of the resources found in the HOPA Advocacy Toolkit.

• How to Communicate with Policymakers
