Grassroots Action Committee

The Grassroots Action Committee is the catalyst of our Grassroots Advocate Community. These active volunteers serve a one-year term and help us achieve our strategic goals and objectives.

Committee members are selected via an application process and must have attended the Call-on Congress. If you are interested in learning more about the Grassroots Action Committee or serving on the Committee contact us.

Have a question or need more information about ways to get involved? You can contact any member of the Grassroots Action Committee by emailing Advocacy@FightCRC.org.
