Join us for MS Day at the Capitol
As a person affected by MS — when it comes to important issues like MS research and health care affordability — you have the power to impact critical decisions made by lawmakers.
The recent election brought many new faces to state capitols across the chapter. With health reform a reality, and these new officials in office, your voice as an MS advocate is more critical than ever.
One of the most meaningful ways to unleash your power as an advocate is to participate in your local MS Day at the Capitol. This is an opportunity to learn how to be an effective MS advocate, meet others who are passionate about MS-related policies, and educate legislators about the disease.
MS Days at the Capitol include:
- St. Paul, MN – Wednesday, Feb. 6, 8:30 a.m. ̶ noon

Pierre, SD – Wednesday, Feb. 13
