Learn How to Make Your Voice Heard NSA email

Another email from the National Stroke Association.

I agree with the advocacy part but first we need to advocate what survivors want, which is to have the NSA focus on survivor needs rather than doctor payment  needs. My focus would be on coming up with stroke protocols and research that would stop the neuronal cascade of death. NSA - please contact me, you'll get an earful - Are you for survivors or not?

Dear dean, Want to help improve the lives of stroke survivors and caregivers across the country and in your state? Join National Stroke Association for a new webinar called Don’t Let Policymakers Call All the Shots—Call Some Yourself on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. EST. This online training will teach you how you can make a difference for the entire stroke community from the comfort of your own home or community. This webinar is designed to inform stroke advocates, like you, about what to expect in Congress and in state legislatures in 2013. More importantly, we’ll show you how to influence your legislators and the decisions they make about stroke-related issues. We’ll also look at election trends and the issues involved in the lame-duck session of Congress (if it’s still in progress on the date of the webinar). By the end of this webinar, you’ll be able to develop your own step-by-step calendar of advocacy activities in the new year. Don’t just talk about what stroke survivors and caregivers need—learn how to make those changes a reality! (Then listen to survivors!!! like me) Advocate for the 7 million stroke survivors living in the U.S. in 2013. Register today and join us on Dec. 4 to learn how! Regards, Coral Cosway Director, Policy Advocacy National Stroke Association
