Help #MEAction raise $150,000 by December 31st

We have a $50,000 matching donation so your dollars go further!  

This year has been heavy—political whiplash, uncertainty, and real harm for our community. #MEAction is here, advocating on the ground. Remember, hope is a sweet rebellion. #MEAction is a lantern in the darkness. We ask you to join us.
​
We are advancing research through our advocacy, fighting to protect healthcare for people with ME and Long COVID, and providing support and community. And, we’ve got some good news! Donating to advocacy is the MOST EFFECTIVE way to advance scientific research.

​​

  • Currently, we are fighting for the NIH to fund the ME/CFS Research Roadmap, and we’ve secured a meeting with the NIH Director to discuss funding. We also successfully advocated for Congress to include the ME/CFS Research Roadmap in Congress’ draft appropriations language.
     

  • #MEAction is actively fighting to protect people from losing their Medicaid benefits and fighting against skyrocketing ACA premiums and getting our campaigns featured in prominent press outlets.
     

  • We take care of people with ME on the ground – through our Mayo Clinic partnership, new Minnesota HCBS program, scientific research, support groups, workshops, artists events and so much more! 

 

Help us continue to be the light in the darkness. Donate $50 or more and receive an email with instructions to get your own lantern featuring a name of your choosing on our site below.
