The National MS Society advocates for those living with MS to move politicians and legislation forward in the areas that most affect the 400,000 impacted with the disease, including funding for MS research, health insurance, long-tern care and disability rights. In Maryland, advocacy efforts focus on local and state elected officials while the Society's Advocacy office in Washington D.C., focuses on national issues.
