Advocacy takes place in many shapes, forms, and colors. Sometimes it's sticking up for yourself when your insurance company tries to deny your claim or your family members disagree with your decisions about how to take care of yourself. Sometimes you advocate for yourself, sometimes you advocate for others.
When you advocate for yourself and others at the same time, it's an especially powerful statement. Check out this recent letter to the editor about someone who is sticking up for herself and the MS community in voicing her concerns about recent proposals to cut Disability Lifeline - an important health care program for people living with MS.
