#MEAction: Amy Carlson – an Ally to the ME Community

Andy · Feb 19, 2019

Allies are critical to the success of any movement and even more so in the case of people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME). So many people with ME are bedridden or housebound and unable to participate in some advocacy and activist actions. While we at #MEAction work hard to make advocacy accessible, we also depend on allies to help our cause.

Amy Carlson has been a special ally to the #ME community. She is an actress known for her roles in Blue Bloods and Third Watch. She is a social justice advocate, feminist and humanitarian. Carlson recently received the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award for Gender Equality.

Amy’s dear friend, Anne Berry, was lost to ME. Last year, Amy participated in New York’s #MillionsMissing event, as well as ME/CFS Advocacy Week in D.C. She has shown up in person and shared her platform for the ME community. Carlson says, “It is my honor to advocate for all those who cannot because of the toll of ME/CFS.”
