National MS Society Launches Campaign to End MS, Declaring for the First Time: Ending MS Is Within Reach
Five-year, $1 billion campaign to lead the way in ending MS, anchored by the Society's first-ever national research symposium and a landmark day of action in New York City
-
NEW YORK -- The National Multiple Sclerosis Society today launched the Campaign to End MS, a five-year campaign to raise $1 billion to accelerate multiple sclerosis (MS) research breakthroughs, expand accessto care and support and move the world closer to a future free of MS.
"For the first time in history, ending MS is within reach, and we are proud to lead the way," said Tim Coetzee, PhD, President and CEO of the National MS Society. "Eighty years of progress have built unstoppable momentum, and the pace of discovery is accelerating faster than ever. The question is no longer if we can end MS, but how quickly."
Nearly 1 million people in the United States live with MS, and there is currently no cure. Yet after decades of scientific progress, researchers are closer than ever to understanding how to stop the disease in its tracks, restore lost function and ultimately prevent MS altogether. The Campaign to End MS is designed to accelerate that momentum and turn possibility into reality.
That momentum is already underway. Today, the National MS Society supports more than 200 research projects worldwide and is investing more than $100 million in active multiple sclerosis research focused on stopping progression, restoring function and ultimately curing MS. As part of that commitment, the Society also announced nearly $8.9 million in new research investments supporting 15 projects aligned with its Pathways to Cures roadmap.
Through the campaign, the Society is working to build a future where:
* An MS diagnosis can be made in hours, not months or years, reducing uncertainty, limiting disease damage and enabling earlier intervention.
* Every person with MS can access the right treatment at the right time, helping them stay ahead of their disease and live their fullest life.
* Every person affected by MS can access the support they need, ensuring no one faces MS alone.
Landmark Events in New York City
On Oct. 1, the launch is anchored by the Society's first-ever national research symposium, convening leading MS researchers, clinicians and industry partners to explore the most promising opportunities to stop disease progression, restore function and ultimately end MS. The symposium opens with a keynote from renowned neurologist and MS researcher Dr. Fred Lublin of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, reflecting on decades of progress in the field and the opportunities ahead.
Also on Oct. 1, the Campaign to End MS Gala will bring together donors, researchers, advocates and community leaders for an evening of celebration and philanthropy at Cipriani 42nd Street. The event will be emceed by ABC News Chief Meteorologist and Chief Climate Correspondent Ginger Zee and will honor David Osmond and his family's longstanding commitment to the MS community.
Composer Jeff Beal, a five-time Emmy Award winner who has lived with MS since 2007, will premiere the official theme of the Campaign to End MS, an original piece created to mark the launch of this historic effort and reflect the hope, urgency and possibility driving the movement to end MS. Third Eye Blind will perform. The evening is made possible in part by the generous support of American Communications Construction and Aloha Beauty Lounge.
On October 3, the movement to end MS will shine across New York City as iconic buildings illuminate in the National MS Society's signature orange, creating a visible symbol of hope, progress and solidarity for the nearly 1 million people living with MS in the United States. Participating locations include One World Trade Center, 151 W 42nd Street, One Bryant Park, The Sven in Long Island City and Halletts Point in Astoria, Queens.
"Multiple sclerosis affects nearly 1 million people in the United States, and there is currently no cure," said Bruce Bebo, PhD, Chief Research and Medical Affairs Officer of the National MS Society. "For decades, researchers have worked toward a future where we could stop MS before it causes irreversible damage, restore function that has been lost and ultimately prevent the disease altogether. Today, that future is no longer theoretical. The scientific advances we are seeing across the research landscape are bringing those possibilities within reach. The Campaign to End MS is designed to accelerate that progress and ensure breakthroughs reach people faster."
The Campaign to End MS is the most ambitious effort in the Society's 80-year history, bringing together researchers, clinicians, advocates, donors and people affected by MS to accelerate progress toward a world free of the disease.
Media are invited to attend and cover the Research Symposium and the Campaign to End MS Gala. For credentialing and more information, contact Media@nmss.org.

Senior Planet launches new online privacy resources to help older adults protect their personal information and navigate AI safely
October 01, 2026
WASHINGTON -- Most older adults lack confidence in their ability to safeguard their personal information on the internet, according to new research from Senior Planet from AARP. In a recent survey, 93% of older adults expressed uncertainty in protecting their personalinformation online.
The rapid advancement and integration of artificial intelligence into everyday life is creating new privacy considerations. 70% of older adults surveyed by Senior Planet lack confidence in knowing what information is safe to share with AI tools. Nearly half expressed interest in receiving digital skills training on the topic.
"Keeping your information safe online has long been a challenge for older adults, and now AI is raising the stakes," said Tom Kamber, executive director of Senior Planet from AARP. "That's why Senior Planet has created a special collection of free resources to help older adults build the skills they need to protect their privacy, recognize potential risks, and feel more confident navigating the digital world."
To help older adults strengthen their online privacy skills, Senior Planet has launched a dedicated webpage at seniorplanet.org/privacy, bringing together free educational resources and trainings focused on protecting personal information online and using AI safely.
The webpage features three key resources:
* Four Privacy Do's and Don'ts: A practical checklist of steps older adults can take to better protect their personal information online.
* Privacy Personality Quiz: An interactive quiz that helps individuals understand their approach to online privacy and identify strategies that work for them.
* What Not to Share with AI Quiz: A new quiz that helps users identify the types of information they should think twice about sharing with AI tools.
The webpage also features a collection of free online classes, interactive trainings, videos and educational materials covering topics such as managing privacy settings, recognizing scams and AI-generated misinformation, protecting financial and health information, and strengthening smartphone and account security.

10/1/2026
WATERLOO, Iowa - Veridian Credit Union has ranked No. 1 among all U.S. credit unions in Callahan & Associates' Return of the Member Index, a national measurement designed to evaluate how effectively credit unions deliver value to their members. The quarterly ranking uses credit unions' regulatory call report data to assess the value provided by credit unions across the U.S. Veridianis ranked No. 1 for the second quarter of 2026.
"This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects that we're staying true to our purpose, helping our members build stronger financial futures and providing value that lasts," said Veridian President and CEO Renee Christoffer. "As a member-owned cooperative, these efforts are core to our mission, and I'm grateful we have such a meaningful way to measure that impact."
The Return of the Member Index evaluates performance in three key areas: value for savers, value for borrowers and member service usage. It assigns a numerical score to each credit union, allowing for easy comparison among credit unions and tracking of performance over time.
Veridian consistently ranks in the top 1% of U.S. credit unions on the Return of the Member Index and has ranked in the top 10 since the fourth quarter of 2022. The last time Veridian ranked No. 1 was in a streak of seven consecutive quarters from the fourth quarter of 2017 to second quarter of 2019. Veridian is the only credit union based in Iowa, Nebraska or Minnesota to rank No. 1 on the Return of the Member Index within the last 5 years.

Author: Bryan Goodman
Matt Frostic, of Applegate, Mich., began his term today as president of the National Corn Growers Association, a farmer-led trade association with offices in St. Louis and Washington.
Frostic, who farms 1,000 acres of corn, soybeans, edible beans and sugar beets, spent his first day in the role outlining his priorities as president. These include securing passage of legislation that allows forthe year-round sale of fuels with 15% ethanol blends, passing the farm bill and diversifying demand for corn.
"These goals may seem ambitious, but we are going to do everything possible to make them a reality," Frostic said. "Farmers work day and night, at times through difficult conditions, to produce a crop that feeds and fuels America and the world. We deliver, and we expect our representatives in Washington to work hard and deliver as well."
Frostic brings extensive advocacy experience to his new role. He has spent the last year chairing NCGA's Input Cost Task Force. In that role, he has worked to identify solutions to bring costs more in line with today's commodity prices. He has also spent the last year serving as NCGA's vice president and as chair of the organization's resolutions committee, and as a member of the finance committee. Frostic is a former president and chair of the Michigan Corn Growers Association.
The NCGA board chooses a member from the governing body to serve as president each year. The term begins on October 1, the start of NCGA's fiscal year.

BSA Launches Global Sovereignty Agenda to Advance Digital Resilience, Security, and Choice
WASHINGTON -- The Business Software Alliance (BSA) today released its first Global Sovereignty Agenda, outlining how governments can advance digital sovereignty by strengthening resilience, diversifying technology supply chains, and deepening trusted international partnerships.
As governments worldwide examine their dependence on critical technologies, BSA's agenda urges policymakers to build greatertechnological capacity and security through objective, risk-based approaches rather than blanket restrictions based on provider nationality or measures that limit data flows and technology choice.
"Enterprise software companies are worldwide leaders in privacy, security, reliability, and governance practices that help companies and governments adopt AI with trust and confidence," said BSA CEO Victoria Espinel. "By aligning their policies with these practices and ensuring commitments of continued basic services among allies, governments can realize their digital sovereignty goals without closing off choice."
The Global Sovereignty Agenda calls on governments to:
* Commit to continuity of digital services with likeminded partners
* Establish early warning and consultation practices to cooperatively manage cross-border service issues
* Support non-discrimination in government promotion of local tech entrepreneurship
* Invest in high-performance compute and digital infrastructure
* Use transparent, risk- and capability-based procurement security criteria
* Align standards for data, cyber, and supply-chain risk management that empower user choice
The Agenda builds on BSA's longstanding work to advance an approach to digital sovereignty grounded in resilience, security, openness, and access to trusted technologies. BSA urges governments to evaluate technology providers based on objective security and capability criteria rather than national origin, while also calling for stronger cooperation among allies to ensure continuity of digital services during periods of geopolitical or economic disruption.

American Fintech Council (AFC) Urges OCC to Strengthen Risk-Based Approach to Supervisory Violations
In response to proposed rulemaking, AFC letter recommends clear standards for distinguishing substantive violations from technical deficiencies and ensuring proportionate supervisory responses
-
Washington, D.C. (October 1, 2026) - The American Fintech Council (AFC), the largest industry associationrepresenting both responsible fintech companies and innovative banks, submitted a comment letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in response to its proposed rule regarding violations of laws or regulations. AFC supports the OCC's effort to establish a clear framework for distinguishing substantive violations from technical deficiencies and recommends refinements to ensure that heightened supervisory attention is focused on violations that present meaningful legal, financial, or customer risk.
"The OCC's proposal presents an important opportunity to bring greater clarity and proportionality to the supervisory process," said Phil Goldfeder, CEO of the American Fintech Council. "Establishing clear and objective standards for when a violation warrants a certain level of supervisory response can help ensure institutions and regulators remain focused on the issues that pose the most consequential risks."
In its letter, AFC recommends that the OCC strengthens the proposed framework by requiring substantive classifications to be grounded in demonstrable materiality and ensuring that findings involving patterns or systemic issues are supported by evidence of a meaningful and recurring deficiency. AFC also recommends preserving the "banking or banking-related" limitation and applying institution-specific factors to assess materiality without creating different substantive standards across institutions.
"A violation should be treated as substantive when, viewed in context, it has produced or could reasonably be expected to produce a material consequence for the institution, its customers, or the integrity of its financial records," said Ian P. Moloney, Chief Policy Officer of the American Fintech Council. "A risk-based framework should give examiners the tools to identify significant compliance concerns while allowing institutions appropriate flexibility to correct technical deficiencies through their existing compliance programs. We encourage the OCC to build on this proposal by establishing workable standards that promote consistency and proportionate supervision."
AFC also recommends that the OCC provide a clear written basis for substantive violation classifications and establish meaningful supervisory review for institutions that dispute a violation or its classification. These measures would promote greater consistency and transparency while ensuring that supervisory responses remain proportionate to the underlying risk.
A standards-based organization, the American Fintech Council (AFC) is the largest and most diverse trade association representing financial technology (fintech) companies and innovative banks. On behalf of nearly 175 member companies and partners, AFC promotes a transparent, inclusive, and customer-centric financial system by supporting responsible innovation in financial services and encouraging sound public policy. AFC members foster competition in consumer finance and pioneer products to better serve underserved consumer segments and geographies.

New AARP Maine Poll: Older Voters Could Play Decisive Role in Closely Watched Senate, Governor Races
With a higher share of older residents than any other state, Maine's critical 50+ voters are focused on rising costs for everyday essentials like gas, health care and utilities.
October 01, 2026
WASHINGTON - Today, AARP released new polling that underscores the pivotal role 50+ voters are poised to play in the state's upcoming Senate and gubernatorial elections, as well as the local and national issues -- including Social Security,Medicare, and rising utility costs -- that will be shaping their votes.
"Maine voters age 50 and older are a critical demographic for candidates to reach and engage ahead of November's elections," said Nancy LeaMond, AARP Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy Officer. "Older voters are the nation's most reliable voters, and Maine has the largest share of older voters of any state. Candidates looking to win should put the issues these voters care about front and center, including protecting Social Security, lowering health care costs, and tackling rising everyday expenses."
Maine had the highest share of residents aged 50+ in the country (44.3%) in 2024. These older voters remain highly engaged and motivated to vote. In the 2024 general election, 59.3% of the 494,000 Mainers over 50 voted. AARP's new survey found this high level of engagement is likely to continue: 87% of voters 50+ rated themselves a "10" on a 10-point motivation-to-vote scale, compared with 73% of voters under 50. Swing voters make up 19% of Maine's electorate, and over half of them (13% of the overall electorate) are 50 and older, emphasizing their influential role in one of the nation's most closely watched battleground elections.
In the race for Senate, Democrat Troy Jackson is leading Republican Susan Collins by 3-points among all voters (50%-47%), while 50+ voters favor Collins over Jackson by 9-points (53%-44%). Collins leads among 50+ swing voters by a wide margin (70%-17%).
In the governor's race, Democrat Hannah Pingree has a clear 52% -39% lead over Republican Bobby Charles, with Independent Rick Bennett getting 6% and 3% undecided. Pingree's lead over Charles is slimmer among 50+ voters (49%-42%), with Bennett also following at 6%. Swing voters 50+ favor Pingree over Charles by 28-points (41%-13%). Bennett is in second place with this group, polling at 32%.
"Older voters are the most influential voting bloc in this election, and they're looking for leaders who understand the challenges facing Maine families today," said AARP Maine State Director Noel Bonam. "Our 50+ residents are looking for candidates who can safeguard their retirement security, support the state's many caregivers, and drive utility costs down. Simply put, they want leaders who will protect and strengthen the high quality of life they've always enjoyed in this great state."
AARP's polling found that affordability is the top issue for voters 50+, followed by threats to democracy and then immigration. The survey also found that among voters over 50:
* 81% say Social Security is an important issue when deciding their vote, and 93% are more likely to support a candidate who will make sure workers receive the Social Security benefits they earned.
* 80% say the cost of health care is an important factor in deciding their vote, and 84% are more likely to support a candidate who would expand Medicare's ability to negotiate prescription drug prices.
* Nearly half (47%) say they have been forced to cut back on other essentials due to rising electricity costs, and 97% say it is important that elected officials work to ensure that utility costs are affordable.
AARP commissioned the bipartisan polling team of Fabrizio Ward (R) and Impact Research (D) to conduct the survey of likely Maine voters. This is the eighth poll in AARP's 2026 battleground polling series, following surveys of North Carolina, Alaska, Texas, Michigan, Arizona, Ohio and Georgia. The firms interviewed 982 likely voters statewide. The survey was done between September 20-22, 2026. The interviews were conducted via live interviewer on cell phone (40%) and landline (15%), as well as SMS-to-web (45%). The sample was randomly drawn from the Maine voter list. The margin of sampling error at the 95% confidence level for the 982 statewide sample is +-3.13%.
