Change happens through MS Activism - MS Action Days
Whether you are attending MS Action Day for the first time or are an experienced advocate, we will help you feel prepared to meet with your local legislators at MS Action Day! Together, we help raise awareness of MS issues. We share our personal stories. Together, we will ask our public officials to make positive changes that benefit people living with MS.
Join those connected to MS in raising your voice to increase awareness and to learn more about issues important to people affected by multiple sclerosis. MS Action Days are a chance to connect with local legislators and learn more about the issues important to people affected by MS.

At 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.
