MS Activists Return to In-person MS State Action Days
May 10, 2023
Over 1,000 MS Activists from 20 states have made their voices heard at MS State Action Days in 2023! MS Activists in Arizona, California, Illinois, Ohio, North Carolina, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Texas met in person in the last month to advance state policies and programs that benefit people with MS and their families.
MS Activists have held dozens of meetings with lawmakers and made over 2,200 online connections with legislators about policies impacting people living with MS including access to MS medications, home modifications, access to high-quality, affordable care and mental health reform.
While we have returned to in-person events in some states, we continue to offer virtual opportunities for those unable to travel to their state capital. Every MS State Action Day, whether in-person or online, includes opportunities for MS Activists to connect with each other in addition to learning about policy priorities and preparing to share their story.

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. Currently there is no cure. Symptoms vary from person to person and may include disabling fatigue, mobility challenges, cognitive changes, and vision issues. An estimated 1 million people live with MS in the United States. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimize disability. Significant progress is being made to achieve a world free of MS.
The National MS Society, founded in 1946, is the global leader of a growing movement dedicated to creating a world free of MS. The Society funds cutting-edge research for a cure, drives change through advocacy and provides programs and services to help people affected by MS live their best lives.
