Together, our voice is powerful and will move us closer to a world free of MS.
Advocacy
Raising our collective voice to drive change Advocacy success happens when people with MS speak out on issues important to them. Progress in public policy is made when citizens and legislators work together to identify needs in their communities and to address them in a positive way.
