Advocating Dystonia Issues

The National Spasmodic Torticollis Association is a member of the Dystonia Advocacy Coalition. The goal of the Dystonia Advocacy Coalition (DAC) is to speak with one voice for issues affecting the Dystonia community. By developing and maintaining Congressional relationships we hope to raise awareness concerning the needs of people affected by Dystonia and to encourage Dystonia Champions on the Hill. 

The Dystonia Advocacy Coalition responsibilities include developing, implementing and managing a legislative and policy agenda to meet the needs of the Dystonia community. Dystonia advocates will be trained and guided in achieving the goals of the DAC. Legislation relative to the Dystonia community will be monitored and communicated to the membership of the participating organizations for appropriate action.
