Recovery Advocacy Network
RAN

We’re excited to let you know that our work to support recovery in
Oregon and Washington is paying off. 
The Hands Across the Bridge Project is now called the Recovery Advocacy Network (RAN). We are working hard to organize and mobilize thousands of people both in
recovery and previously incarcerated,
to raise the state-wide profile and influence of the organized recovery community to help more people in Oregon and Washington get well.
We are the living proof, demonstrating that over 20 million Americans are in recovery
from addiction to alcohol and other drugs,
promoting widespread understanding that
recovery is a reality and a process that takes time and support.
