Veteran Call to Action!
Take action! Your support is crucial in our mission to encourage the FDA to base their decision on approving MDMA solely on the science and data presented in the new drug application (NDA).
Our advocacy team has been tirelessly working in DC to build legislative support, but we can't do it alone. We need your voice to make a difference. Please reach out to your elected officials, including the President, your Senators, and your Congressional representative, to let them know how important this issue is to you.
Your efforts will help ensure that the decision on MDMA is guided by science and data, paving the way for potentially life-saving treatments. Thank you for standing with us!

Subj: Attn: Health Staff and VA Staff - END VETERAN SUICIDE NOW
Dear [Title & Name - Senator, Congressman, Congresswoman],
I am a [branch of service] veteran deeply concerned about the lack of adequate mental health treatment available to my fellow servicemembers. The staggering statistic of over 6,000 veteran suicides per year highlights a critical and urgent need for better solutions. From 2001 through the end of 2024, we will have lost more than 150,000 veterans to suicide.
MDMA-assisted therapy has shown remarkable promise in addressing this crisis. Clinical trials and VA studies have demonstrated its safety and efficacy. After just three sessions combining MDMA with talk therapy, 71% of patients no longer met the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis, and 86% experienced significant symptom reduction. Despite these promising results, veterans must currently seek this life-saving treatment outside the United States.
The FDA is set to make a final decision to approve MDMA-assisted therapy in early August. I urge you to join Congressmen General Jack Bergman, Jimmy Panetta, Morgan Luttrell, and Lou Correa in supporting this crucial therapy. Your support can help ensure that veterans like me receive the mental health care they deserve without having to leave the country they served.
Thank you for your attention to this vital matter.
Sincerely,
First Last
