This May 12th, patients, families, and allies will gather around the globe to demand action for people living with ME. #MEAction #MillionsMissing visibility actions will inundate social media. Key figures and organizations from ally communities, such as disability rights and chronic illness, will join our fight and bolster our message at in-person events and on social media. Scientists, medical professionals and elected officials will also join in, creating the biggest rally cry yet for ME equality.
The overall goals for our day of action are:
- To Be Seen: We will make ourselves visible and share our stories in order to grow our movement.
- To Build Community: We will organize patients, caregivers, allies, doctors, scientists, and elected officials in order to build power.
- To Demand Concrete Action: We will select clear targets in each of our countries and demand specific, concrete action to create the greatest possible, unified outcry for change
...
Organizers around the world are collaborating and crafting national-level strategies. To join in, find your national or local
#MEAction group. As an example of specific, concrete targets, view the
US Step-by-Step Guide. (We'll be adding more countries soon.)
