The Action Alliance

ATA’s Action Alliance is a grassroots network of dedicated volunteers – people like you. We work to educate and influence Congress and other elected leaders who make funding decisions that directly affect tinnitus research. In other words, ATA advocates for effective public policies that will support our mission to cure tinnitus. Our top advocacy priority is to fight, through Congress, for more funding from the:

• U.S. Department of Defense
• Department of Veterans Affairs
• National Institutes of Health

Advocacy volunteers are shaking it up

ATA’s top advocacy priority is to fight for more federal funding for tinnitus research. And with help from our 1,400 volunteers, our cause is gaining momentum.

These committed advocates speak out to their Senators and Representatives to promote ATA's legislative priorities. And they work year-round in their own communities to raise awareness about tinnitus. ATA volunteers are passionate about curing this frustrating, often debilitating condition.

If you want to help ATA make a difference you can write your Senators and Representatives too!
