2012 Rally for Recovery (September 15, 2012)



Faces & Voices of Recovery is working with local and state recovery community organizations and allies to hold Rally for Recovery! marches, walks, town-hall meetings, picnics and other events all on the same day – Saturday September 15, 2012 as part of National Recovery Month.

We are pleased to announce that Detroit, Michigan will be the national hub event for the 2012 Rally for Recovery!

Join our online recovery tally and help us raise the national profile of the recovery community by sending us media coverage, photos and any other highlights of your Rally.

The goal is for 100,000 people to turn out for recovery across the nation as part of Rally for Recovery!

The goal of NAMA Recovery is to have thousands of MAT patients joining others to celebrate OUR RECOVERY. For years MAT patients were left out of these celebrations and it is time for us to take our rightful place!

At the events, people in recovery, their families, friends and allies are encouraged to participate in civic life through voter registration and education and celebrate their growing visibility. They are joined by a vast array of elected officials, celebrities, public officials, law enforcement officers and allies. Each Rally for Recovery! event reflects the interests of organizers, frequently combining family activities like face painting, music and food with advocacy activities like walks around the State Capitol and opportunities to meet and speak with elected officials. People from around the country will be calling in to the Detroit “hub” to report on the number of walkers, runners and participants at their local events, raising the national profile of the growing recovery movement.

Join us.
