I was asked to clarify the myriad of public listserves MCS America provides when I announced MCSA-Public. As a reminder, MCS America has a new public listserve that anyone is welcome to join without an application. The focus and operation of this list will be different than our other groups. A description of each is provided below. You are invited to join one or more applicable listserves.
MCSA-Public
Open to the general public to discuss MCS in general as well as support, ideas, information, announcements, and/or to share personal activism. This is in contrast to the MCS America Members group were discussion of collaborative activist efforts and internal MCS America efforts will remain. No application is required.

MCS America Members Support
This group also fulfills the function of discuss support, ideas, information, announcements, and/or share personal activism like the MCSA-Pubic group, only with a closed membership that requires a membership application. This group also has the added benefit of being a place where individuals and other organizations and activists can engage in collaborative efforts with MCS America and being recipient to all the news feeds (see MCSA Feeds below). Members of this group are considered associate members of MCS America. Members do not operate MCS America in any way, but rather collaborate with the organization and are privy to some internal operations, activities, and events.
