It's time for the latest advocacy news from Andrew Kessler.

As we approach the end of 2023, we are mired in a Congressional fight over spending that is among the ugliest in recent history. The impact on public health -- especially SUD services -- is certainly going to be felt.

As Congress continues to 'kick the can' down the road on this issue, there has been moderate policy progress elsewhere. This includes action taken by executive agencies and the White House, as well as a limited number of bi-partisan bills have been able to advance, albeit at a frustratingly slow pace.

This webinar will examine the prospects for federal funding in FY 2024, as well as the top policy priorities of lawmakers for the rest of the 118th Congress.
