Write a little more about why the ME debate motion is important to you. For example:

– Facebook:

“Today MPs are debating Carol Monaghan’s motion on ME in a historic House of Commons debate. One of the issues the motion highlights is current trends of subjecting ME families to unjustified child protection procedures.

This cruel and harmful practice cannot be allowed to continue. Join me in supporting the #MEdebate motion by sharing this post.

– On Twitter tag @MattHancock the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care:

“I’m virtually demonstrating my support for the #MEdebate @MattHancock.

Want me to smile?

Give #ME equal access to biomedical research funding.

#pwME deserve

#ScienceNotStigma

#CanYouSeeMEnow”

3. Ask your friends and family to get involved

Encourage your family or friends to hold up a sign and have their photo taken too. It could even explain how ME impacts their life as well. For example:

“ME stole my partner’s energy, fund biomedical research now”

“Fund ME research so I can play with mum outside again”.

Then post on social media using the hashtag #MEdebate, and tag @MattHancock if you’re on Twitter.
