About #MEAction and #MillionsMissing

The government’s public health crisis may be officially ending, but for millions of people with ME, we are still sick and still fighting. 

ME/CFS affects millions of people across the globe. The majority of people with ME  developed it after infection. They have been sick, and missing from the lives they deserve to live.

Today, millions more with Long COVID now have ME and are facing these same challenges that people with ME have faced for decades: poor medical care, no FDA-approved treatments, and little societal support. Those not recovering after a COVID-19 infection represent a public health crisis, with consequences for all: and the problem is getting bigger every day. 

#MEAction is a 501(c)3 that fights for people with ME and Long COVID all year long. We are making strides- with the press, general public, and even with public research dollars. BUT THIS IS OUR MOMENT to keep the attention and INCREASE the research dollars, access to care and treatment that we all deserve. 

Your Contribution Helps Create Large-Scale Campaigns, Support our Programs, and Help People with ME ALL YEAR LONG. 

On top of this, we have perks which include:

• Downloadable #MillionsMissing Poster
• Sponsorship of #MillionsMissing Beds, Pillows, and Blankets; represented on our website 
• T-shirts and Mugs
• The knowledge that you are helping a cause that needs you now more than ever.

The Impact

• We are producing the most press-worthy #MillionsMissing yet! We need to keep this attention up so we are not forgotten. 
• Our September #MillionsMissing garnered national press attention in the New York Times, The Hill, NPR and so much more! This event will build off of that- to continue the persuasion of the general public in order to amplify pressure on our government and institutions. 
• Your $$ go to our medical outreach, support connections, resource building, federal agency advocacy, trainings and so much more! 

• People with ME are at the center of all we do. <3
