As 2023 draws to a close, the Society's Vice President of Advocacy, Steffany Stern, extends a heartfelt message to every #MSActivist on behalf of the entire Society. Thank you and Happy New Year!

It’s great to be in DC once again to meet with the Society’s Activism
Advisory Committee as we work toward identifying policy priorities for the coming year and discuss ways to best engage our #MSActivist in moving these priorities forward.

Thanks you, @RepJoeCourtney, for continuing to be an ally to the MS community!

[MS Activist @MSactivist]

Thank you to @RepJoeCourtney for meeting with us today and for your continued support in making sure that people living with MS can access the medications they need! #MSActivist

[MS Activist @MSactivist]

Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) can have a direct impact on whether people with MS can access and afford their medications. Bringing transparency and accountability to their practices will help people with MS get the medications they need. #MSActivist

Yesterday, #MSActivist took on the State House in Boston to advocate for access to MS medications. As an added bonus, my favorite lobbyist, Ayah Roda, stopped by to help.

So excited to take on the State House tomorrow with such wonderful activists!
