As part of the paralysis community, we have common interests in fighting for the political and legal issues that threaten progress on cutting edge research, quality of life, and disability rights.

The Christopher Reeve Action Network consists of people like you who are committed to fighting as active citizens speaking together with one loud voice.

Right now, we are building momentum around three pressing issues:

The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Act (CRPA)

Legislation to support and expand paralysis research, rehabilitation, and quality of life programs.
