Crowdfunded awareness campaigns including billboards

[Aaron]

Hey guys, wanted to share this. I hope that even if this is too late for Long Covid Awareness Day that maybe it will still be a useful document for future LC or ME campaigns. There’s currently 104 locations around the world that could potentially light up for us and of course, this is only the first draft and there’s potentially hundreds still to add.

Sorry if this is spamming btw.

This is so cool @Aaron

Feedback welcomed as always. Also if anyone would like me to include them (even under a fake name) send me a DM. I’ll be handing these out in Edinburgh on Long Covid Awareness Day and also looking for fellow volunteers to come along and help out. Hoping to get groups like this all around the UK on the day.

Edinburgh leaflet handout March 15th
London (city centre, yet to be confirmed specifics) leaflet handout and Digivan Tuesday March 18
Volunteers needed if anyone has anyone in mind who they think could come along for a bit to either location.

Same efforts will be in place for ME Awareness Day too.

Good luck @Aaron theres a lot of work involved in in person events I hope you get some volunteers. I was involved in Millions Missing 2019 in my city and there was a lot of unseen organisation stuff with printers and permission from the council. Maybe worth reaching out to ME Action if not already done that. Take care of yourself.

Wow! Big admirer of the Millions Missing volunteers and organisers! Such incredible, inspiring work!!

Thanks for the tips! Will try not to make a complete disaster of the event. Lol

(FYI the same effort will be there for ME too in May, I hope nobody thinks there’s any ME erasure here. Just trying to give both conditions their own spotlight for respective awareness days. The website and campaign in general is still pro both of them!)
