About Mobilize Recovery
Now more than ever, the addiction & mental health recovery community needs to come together—creating connection and community at scale—due to the devastating impact of COVID. September 2021 will provide one of the first opportunities to do just that. Recovery Month 2021 will be a testament to the resiliency and strength of our community.
Mobilize Recovery is an initiative of the Recovery Advocacy Project and The Voices Project. Its mission is to expand policy to support recovery, create connections to supportive services that are vital and life-saving, and to engage affected individuals in meaningful civic action. The initiative convenes advocates with lived experience to build capacity for organized civic engagement with new leadership across the country.
Each year, hundreds of recovery advocates are selected to attend Mobilize Recovery to learn innovative strategies and tactics for grassroots organizing. You’ll connect with other recovery leaders and gain access to new tools to streamline your organizing and advocacy work.
This year’s Mobilize Recovery will be hosted online and in-person at the Westgate Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Apply to attend this year’s event and select your preference to join online or in-person.
Digital Strategy
Take your advocacy digital to win the hearts and minds of new advocates, stakeholders, and key decision-makers. Expand your digital toolkit from communication and social media to design and data.
Mobilizing Grassroots
All movements consist of robust constituencies of grassroots supporters. You'll learn from leading community organizers so you can organize and mobilize for change.
Organizing Tactics
Do you ever wonder where to start? Do you know how to organize a strategic initiative from planning through execution? Hear from experts about the many successful tactics that make up winning strategies.
Workshops & Collaboration
You'll work closely with a small cohort of other Mobilizers from all areas of experience and backgrounds. Small workshops give attendees a safe environment to learn. We believe the diversity of our movement makes us more resilient.

We want to train and give YOU the tools to make sustainable, real change in your community; connect with emerging leaders from across the country; and develop a plan of action that we can work on together to inspire recovery and end the preventable overdose crisis in America.
Addiction is a crisis of epidemic proportions and shows no sign of slowing down. It affects people of every race, class, social group, religion, and gender. It does not discriminate. Currently, 23 million Americans are in sustained recovery from substance use disorder. Another 22 million are suffering from this highly preventable, treatable illness. One in every three households includes a person with substance use disorder; beyond the home, the prevalence of addiction affects almost everyone. From healthcare systems overloaded with people desperate for help, to criminal justice courts crammed with people who need treatment instead of jail time, our society is burdened by the stigma of addiction.
Without civic engagement, organization, and recovery advocacy, millions of people will never access the life-saving support they need. Currently, less than 10 percent of people will ever seek medical help of any kind for their addiction. Hundreds of people lose their lives daily, leaving behind family members, friends, loved ones, children, and community members. Yet, when the recovery community organizes, reform is possible. Activists have successfully accessed funding for recovery supports, effective and ethical standards for treatment, and changes to employment processes. When recovery speaks, people listen.
That’s A-OK! We balance the experience and skills of participants and offer trainings for the novice and experienced.
Be Comfortable: Comfortable clothing. Summers in Las Vegas can reach high temperatures.
Business Cards: Remember that you’ll be with hundreds of other passionate advocates, make sure to bring some business cards to hand out.
Laptop: It’s not required, but if you have one and you’re able to travel with it we suggest you bring one. You’ll use it for taking notes and some of the activities in the breakout sessions.
Applications close Friday, June 11. Participants will be notified by the end of June 2021.
