Dear Member,

I write to you today asking for your support of CAMFT’s state and federal PACs as we head into the New Year and a new legislative cycle. CAMFT’s PACs are your association’s political action committees, which raise funds from CAMFT members in order to support state and federal legislators who value the role of MFTs in supporting the health and well-being of all Californians.

November’s election brought a significant number of new Democratic and Republican legislators, both on the state and federal levels. As of January 1st, nearly 1/3 of the California state legislature will turn over, 20% of our federal House of Representatives will be new, and several congressional leaders in both parties will be replaced.

With all the new legislators and leaders here in California and in Washington, D.C., it is essential that we support legislators who are champions for mental health and MFTs.

Your contributions to CAMFT’s state and federal PACs are vital to our ability to continue growing the political presence of MFTs in California and across the nation. Please help us reach our end of year goals by making a contribution before the clock strikes midnight!

We are asking for a one-time $10 donation to both the federal and state PAC funds to finalize our 2022 campaign! To help advocate for MFTs and mental health, click here.

Sincerely,

Joy Alafia
Executive Director
