Political Action Fund Contributions
Welcome to the AAAOM Political Action Fund Storefront!
Welcome to the Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Political Action Fund (AOMPAF) storefront. AAAOM developed the AOMPAF to create an auxiliary source of funding for a range of activities that support continued herbal access and to confront the various scope of practice issues that impact our profession. This storefront allows you to make a one-time contribution or monthly contributions as low as $10 per month.
“A TIME TO BUILD UP: One of the issues that has become clear to me in my year as president of the AAAOM is that we must raise the financial resources to fund our political work. I have had conversations with those who believe grass roots efforts will see our agenda through to fruition. This simply will not get the job done as we move forward and mature as a profession in the U.S. In the past, grass roots efforts have indeed worked, as we were often the underdog who needed to get the word out about our amazing medicine. However, as we “grow up” we lose the goodwill that is afforded to newcomers on the political scene. We must stand up and fund ourselves in the political arena because no one else but ourselves should or will do this. The power of your contribution – large or small – is an investment you can’t afford NOT to make. Thank you sincerely for taking this important step.”
