Advocate for Those with MS: Be Part of Take Action Day

F

ollowing last year’s successful Take Action initiative, which generated nearly 900 letters and more than 400 emails to Wisconsin state legislators to thank them for their past support of National Multiple Sclerosis Society initiatives, the Wisconsin Chapter is planning another Take Action Day for 2013. This year’s communication will highlight the effects legislative support has had – and can continue to have – on maintaining the pace of research to treat and ultimately cure MS.

Be part of the action. Here’s how: 1. Look for Take Action Day tables at select Walk MS locations in April and May and sign a pre-printed letter to be delivered by Wisconsin Chapter representatives to Wisconsin legislators on May 29, World MS Day. Not attending a Walk MS event this year? Watch for information on an email version of the letter.

2. Sign up to receive Action Alerts – either at select Walk MS sites or online at wisMS.org (click on Take Action). Stay informed on the latest news about legislation affecting those living with multiple sclerosis and details about other ways you can get involved.
