The Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) Act was signed into law by President Biden on December 29, 2022. This is a huge victory for the thousands of People’s Action Overdose Crisis Cohort member leaders who organized their neighbors, made phone calls and hosted meetings over the past two years.
The MAT Act will increase access to proven treatments for people with opioid use disorder, and bring us closer to ending the drug war and a world where not one life is lost to overdose.
Prices are soaring, and rent is too damn high for many families. Ask your Members of Congress to sign a letter with Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jamaal Bowman asking President Biden to take executive action on our rent crisis!
