We also want to hear from you if you would like to join the advocacy effort in your home district or by phone.
Our goal will be to gain support from members of congress for multiple key ME/CFS initiatives brewing later this year and to raise awareness of our disease with federal leaders.
The May actions will include:

Capitol Hill ME/CFS Lobby Day: Wed., May 17 – the highlight of the overall action
District Congressional Meetings, May 8 – 12 (in your hometown)
Call-in / Write-in Campaign on May 17th
