AMAC Action is a regular participant in forums with Washington, DC-based conservative organizations, including the American Tax Reform’s Center Right Coalition; the Weyrich Lunch; the Conservative Action Project; the American Conservative Union’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC); and the Family Business Coalition.

AMAC belongs to the non-partisan Free2Care coalition, a partnership of physician and patient advocates working together to create a package of healthcare reforms that empowers both physicians and patients. In 2021,

In October, AMAC announced a partnership with the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU). This exciting relationship will help to protect vulnerable elderly voters who reside in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other residential facilities. The ACRU has considerable resources available for AMAC members to use to protect the right to vote for their elderly loved ones and friends. The relationship also includes support for veterans through the ACRU’s Committee to Support and Defend (CSD) and the AMAC Foundation’s Foundation Veteran Outreach Program (FVOP). This is the largest and only partnership of its kind serving veterans while also amplifying their voices and mobilizing them to impact their communities and the country for the cause of liberty and constitutional governance. The partnership with the ACRU will span the entire AMAC enterprise, as well as its affiliates AMAC Action, and the AMAC Foundation. AMAC Action participated in conferences held by the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) to further expand relationships with state legislators and develop AMAC’s state-level advocacy efforts. PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS UNION Free2Care named its patient advocacy award after AMAC’s late founder, Dan Weber, and the 2022 recipient of the Dan Weber Patient Advocacy Award was North Carolina State Treasurer Dale Folwell. Mr. Folwell was recognized for his work on behalf of patient empowerment at Free2Care’s annual conference in Austin, Texas.
