USA: From Solve ME - Educate your Members of Congress about a "HOME" for IACCIs at NIH

Solve ME has created an automated tool (meant for folks in the USA) that will contact your Member of Congress (email/phone/twitter) and ask them to support a new "home" for "Infection-Associated Chronic Conditions and Illnesses" (IACCIs).

Text part of the automated tool:

There's another thread that discusses this general idea of creating a new NIH office:

https://www.s4me.info/threads/the-n...erican-association-of-scientists-2024.37668/\

I think it's better to debate the issue on that thread (should a new NIH office be created?) and leave this thread to discuss advocacy issues (e.g., does the tool work, are there better ways to achieve this goal).

But if I'm wrong I hope the moderators will move/merge threads as needed.

 

After completing the tool it takes you to a page where you can tweet your reps/senators. The "link" where it should place a link to a document is broken. Instead the tweet that is prepared by the tool shows "((SHORT LINK))" in X/Twitter.

EDIT : I don't know what email was actually sent by the tool. Did it actually include the right link? Is the tool meant to be live yet?

 

I emailed details of the problem above to the email address I have for Emily.

 

I'm happy to report that I received an email from Solve Executive and Advocacy Manager that the Tweet issue has been fixed after I reported it. That was very quick .

The customer service team will also make sure the email sent out is populating names and links correctly - just as a precaution.

 

Thanks for all the updates @wigglethemouse !

I got the email from Solve ME yesterday (from their mailing list). Maybe you were one of the first folks to test it out?
