American Citizens Abroad (ACA)
VOTER WORK
DESCRIPTION
Founded in Geneva in 1978, ACA produced two Presidential reports during the Carter administration that analyzed 60 issues facing Americans overseas. ACA continues to assist the US Government in developing cohesive national policies dealing with Americans abroad. ACA was instrumental in getting the laws changed concerning transmission of citizenship to children born or adopted abroad. It works with other groups and organizations to acheive common goals on many issues affecting Americans residing abroad such as fair taxation, Medicare, absentee voting and being counted in the next census.
ACA has members in over 90 countries, with national affiliates in China, Italy and Sweden, as well as a system of Country Contacts spread over six continents. Thousands of readers worldwide receive the ACA News Report, including individuals and groups, schools, US embassies and consulates. ACA's free online News Update and the frequently updated ACA home page reach a growing audience of viewers. Every day, the ACA head office in Geneva handles requests for information on citizenship, taxes, and health insurance.
Nonpartisan and nonprofit, ACA continues to grow and serve its members worldwide.
