ACC’s Political Mobilization is back on the road for #ACCaugust! During the Congressional summer recess we will be hosting numerous events with elected officials throughout the U.S. We’ll be fanning out across the country to further our industry’s advocacy goals through our grassroots initiative #ACCaugust. Through plant tours, in-district meetings, and industry roundtable discussions, we will meet with Members of Congress to raise awareness of issues important to our industry and employees and showcase the economic benefits of the business of chemistry where it matters the most—in their respective districts.
You can keep track of our progress here on the ACC blog, on our @AmChemMatters twitter account, or our Facebook page. Participate in the experience by joining the conversation using the hashtags #ACCaugust and #ChemistryMatters.
Take our virtual #ACCaugust tour with us! Zoom in and out and pan around to see where we’ve been and where we’re going!
