In 1981, the organization traveled to Washington D.C. to present petitions before President Ronald Reagan and Congress and call for an arms freeze.

In the late 1980's, the Minnesota Department of Health created an anti smoking campaign directed towards youth.  The first campaign was a series of television commercials that showed 12 different animals smoking stating, "It looks just as stupid when you do it!"  The slogan was used in many different capacities including buttons and posters.  The campaign was used throughout the United States and even used in France in the 1990's by the National Committee of Tobacco Control.

The first Ronald McDonald House opened in Philadelphia in 1974, as a partnership between members of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, the Philadelphia-area McDonald’s regional manager, and a local doctor. The purpose of the first Ronald McDonald House was to provide a “home away from home” for families of children seeking treatment for serious illnesses. This purpose continues to drive the organization, which has expanded to provide other services such as mobile access to health care for children, grants to children's health-focused non-profits, and need-based college scholarships.

During the 2004 presidential election, members of the Environmental Victory Project distributed pamphlets, bumper stickers, and buttons with the slogan, “Some things were never meant to be recycled”. The activists, who were against president George Bush's reelection campaign, were made up of the League of Conservation Voters (a political advocacy group supporting the environment) and other enviro-groups who opposed Bush's environmental ideals. The anti-Bush campaign was by no means the only one, with similar campaigns aimed at John Kerry and political figures on both sides. Ultimately, the campaign against Bush failed when he won the 2004 election and won another four years in office.
