GET INVOLVED
Join the movement. Create change. Be an MS activist.
You can take action now. Sign up to be an activist today! Receive updates on health care reform, policy priorities, and solutions to MS issues. Encourage others to get involved too.
We are activists. Many are individuals who live with MS. Some are friends and family members. Many others are individuals who simply recognize their passion and ability to move us closer to a world free of MS.
Change happens through MS activism.
HOW CAN I BE AN MS ACTIVIST?
I only have a few minutes…

- Contact your elected official about a MS issue.
- Ask your friends, family, and colleagues to join the movement.
- Read our National Health Care Reform Principles.

I have some spare time…
- Post MS issues on your own web site, blog, or viral space. Feel free to link back to our blog, Twitter or Facebook page.
- Research legislation online.
- Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Tell your story and ask for change on one issue.
I can make a commitment…
