Advocacy Week 2026 starts on Monday - March 23rd! This year, Solve MECFS Initiative and The #MEAction Network are partnering on a medical education initiative. We're working with the systems that shape what medical providers in America learn!

Check out our NEW Participant Toolkit: https://ow.ly/XYsh50YvzGm

We’ll be engaging with patient safety agencies, State Medical Boards, and Chief Medical Officers and asking them to use their institutional authority to champion ME/CFS.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure ME/CFS appears on national medical licensing exams, but this Advocacy week we are focusing on building the relationships that will get us there.

The week is built around writing letters, collecting signatures for community sign-on letters, and personal storytelling - things you can do at your own pace, from home, with templates provided and ready to go.

Your participation makes all the difference! Thank you!
