From an e-mail from #MEAction:

It’s already time to start thinking and planning for #MillionsMissing 2020!

This year #MillionsMissing global protests will take place between May 9th-May 17th. Our registration pages and toolkits will be available soon.

#MillionsMissing is a global campaign for myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) health equity, led by #MEAction. We rally around the world for increased government funding for research, clinical trials, medical education and public awareness.

We call ourselves the “Millions Missing” because there are millions of people with ME who are too sick to protest, there are millions of dollars missing from government research, and there are millions of doctors not being educated about ME. The first global #MillionsMissing protests took place in May 2016. It has since grown each year to an astounding 100+ cities and virtual protests in 2019. We plan to take 2020 by storm!

We will email you as soon as registration opens - along with toolkits and FAQ’s on planning an event! Keep an eye out and save the date!

In solidarity,

Laurie Jones

I wonder if paying for billboards would help us to be visible and get attention in an new way without people on the street over #MM time. And it would show we mean business, in fact they’d linger and get more notice than a two hour demo. . I saw that an animal welfare charity in the UK were renting billboards on the London Underground to get out their message. They fundraised for it. It’s not that expensive to rent on major cities about £300-500 per two weeks I think. I don’t know about prime locations. Solve ME did it once Dramatically in Times Square NY.

i’m not sure going Virtual Alone will manage to achieve much based on other years. Someone elsewhere stressed importance of getting media attention and I think that thats Right and still possible to do if imaginative, possibly. It’s also about aims and direction as to what groups do I suppose. I couldn’t see what uk #MM were specifically asking for and who specifically was being targeted.
