Description

Always believe in the power of your voice and your story to influence change.





Whether it’s at the local, state or national level, your experiences are valuable in making things better for you and many others dealing with the same circumstances and situations.





We were honored that we had the opportunity to attend the National MS Society Public Policy Conference in Washington, D.C., the first week of March (officially MS Awareness Month!) and join nearly 200 other MS activists on Capitol Hill March 6 to advocate for MS-related legislative issues.





We are grateful for the members of Congress and the legislative aides for our U.S. Senators from Michigan for meeting with us and other state MS Activists to discuss Congressional action to:





Prioritize the extension and improvement of access to telehealth by cosponsoring and supporting the CONNECT for Health Act





Prioritize $20 million for the MS Research Program in FY25





Join us for this episode we break down these two issues, why they are so important for people living with MS, and why your voice is needed in the MS community.





Advocacy is always empowering.





We all have a story to share. And nobody knows your story better than you.





Take some time to become an MS activist today!
