MS Action Day is day where people affected by MS join other volunteers and MS Society Staff at their state’s Capitol building. We offer a wide arrange of transportation options to help you get to your there. You will learn more about policies that impact people living with MS. We will schedule meetings for you and provide you with all the training and materials you will need to be an effective advocate. You just need to bring your enthusiasm and come prepared for a full day of activity. If you experience fatigue or other physical symptoms, we strongly encourage you to bring a companion and any assistive equipment you might need for getting around the Capitol building.
How We Identify Annual Priority Issues
Through a collaborative effort between Mid America and Gateway Area chapters, MS Action Day paves the way for our Chapters' strongest and most influential form of public advocacy. MS Activists learn about the Society's advocacy issues and then meet with legislators at their Capitols in Jefferson City, MO; Lincoln, NE and Topeka, KS. During legislative meetings, our activists address issues that are vital to individuals living with MS throughout our Chapter service area.
