Advocates in ActionPast ActionsEMS ExpoOctober 26-30, 2009 Contact Your Representatives in Congress to Cosponsor the Nongovernmental Emergency Responder Family Protection Act!We are asking all members of the EMS community to please contact their representatives in Congress urging them to cosponsor the Nongovernmental Emergency Responder Family Protection Act (H.R. 2485). Introduced by Congressman Keith Ellison, H.R. 2485 would extend Public Safety Office Death Benefits to the survivors of medics who are employed by nongovernmental EMS agencies and die in the line of duty. Governmental medics are already eligible for death benefits but tens of thousands of nongovernmental medics are ineligible even though they provide the same life-saving medical care in often dangerous environments. If you need to determine who your Member of Congress is, simply click the "Take Action" link on the left-hand side of this page and enter your zip code in the search box on CapWiz. There, you will also find talking points and a form email for your benefit. As always, thank you for your continued support!
