Team Request For Grassroots Support - Recovery Advocacy Project

RAP Organizing Teams are a great way to bring together individuals from the same community, county, or state to focus on a mission driven campaign. Requests should stem from an identified need in the community or state the team members live in and we ask that there is a specific community or legislative ask in the request.

Grassroots support from the Recovery Advocacy Project to your team can benefit what you are working towards by helping to develop strategy, an impactful team or a campaign timeline. Working with RAP will also give your team access to digital organizing tools like letter writing campaigns or petitions, and access to our community organizing tools, trainings and expertise.

We ask that each team fulfills the following criteria before submitting a request for grassroots support:


  • Teams must have a specific community or legislative ask, such as building a community campaign to open a recovery community center or putting a bill in to strengthen the 911 Good Samaritan Law in their state;
  • Teams should consist of a minimum of 5 people who commit to at least 1 hour of team meetings twice per month to build and carry out the campaign;
  • Teams should work to have defined roles and responsibilities prior to submitting a request for ongoing support, such as a volunteer committee chair, volunteer committee co-chair, secretary, communication liaison, and an action network manager;

Fill out the form below to submit your team's request for grassroots support and a RAP staff member will be in touch with you regarding your request.
