2012
Virtual Advocacy Day
Our annual MS Advocacy and Awareness Day is
happening in Columbus on March 27, 2012.
Volunteers from across the state will meet with their policymakers in
support of important legislative issues that affect people with MS.
We know that not everyone can travel to Columbus
and we need YOU to reinforce our advocacy message from home. PLEDGE
NOW to participate with us virtually.
This year we will advocate for HB 332 The Ohio
Livable Homes Tax Credit. The
Ohio Livable Homes Tax Credit, will help families affected by multiple
sclerosis (MS) make their homes safer or buy an accessible home.
