MSFC chapters have engaged in advocacy including supporting or opposing bills at local, state, and national levels; engaging in voter turnout, advocacy within state medical societies, and more. The best way to get started is to contact a local organization. See the Advocacy Guide for suggestions.

Here are some advocacy resources to help get you started. We have lots more to connect you with. Email students@msfc.org if you need help getting started.
