#MEAction North Carolina focuses on support and advocacy for those with ME and other post infection complex illness. We re-launched in spring 2023 with new lead Tony Marks, new Facebook moderator Josie Jestis, and new Twitter account manager Elly Brosius.
We welcome members and volunteers throughout NC and neighboring states with a wide variety of lived experience, interests, concerns, talents to share, and/or connections with state government officials. Whether you feel like a pro or you’ve never been to a support group meeting or called an elected official, we need and want you.
As COVID continues to be with us, it threatens to increase the number of North Carolinians with ME/CFS significantly. Circulating SARS-CoV-2 makes it all the more imperative that all states takes action to address ME/CFS and long covid.
Our purpose is to grow a North Carolina coalition of people with ME, similar complex-chronic illnesses, and allies to organize actions, develop outreach, and form a community. ME is a serious condition that has disabled many, cost billions to our economy, and has disrupted family life. We endeavor to help each other cope, to get help for the #MillionsMissing from their schooling, work, hobbies, and life goals.
