Scooter AdvocacyAt the National MS Society, we relentlessly advocate for federal, state, and local government change essential to people with MS.

We must work together to break down barriers to care, improve access to quality health services, and make MS therapies more affordable. We must fight for disability rights, MS research funding, and long-term care resources.

We are activists. We make MS issues national priority issues. We share our personal stories. And we ask our public officials for change that benefits people living with MS and others with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Change happens through MS activism. Join the movement at www.nationalMSsociety.org/MSactivist
