PAL extends an enthusiastic welcome to the National Education Association (NEA) to our Coalition. Founded in 1857, NEA has over 3.2 million members, making it the nation's largest professional employee association! NEA's work at every level of public education—from pre-school to university graduate programs. NEA has affiliate organizations in every state and in more than 14,000 communities across the United States.

NEA is doing their part to advocate for consumers. They currently lobby on issues of Prescription costs, quality and transparency and train state and local affiliate staff who spread the word to members in the states.

The Prescription Access Litigation coalition has more than 130 organizational members that represent over 13 million individuals. The coalition includes consumer advocacy organizations, senior citizen groups, health care advocacy groups, labor unions, union benefit funds, nonprofit health plans, and others. PAL coalition members join class action lawsuits, help get the word out about new lawsuits and settlements, and participate in advocacy campaigns to curtail runaway drug marketing and unethical drug pricing.
