Current UK calls to action
UK Parliamentary Advocacy Contact your MP. #MEAction has developed a toolkit to give you the basic tools to help you to feel comfortable meeting with your Member of Parliament (MP). We want every single MP in the country to meet with a constituent, to learn how their life has been affected by ME and find out what they can do to help. Access the toolkit now.
Urge your MP to sign EDM 1247 recognizing Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) Awareness Week, the work being done by campaigners and charities to highlight ME as a physical condition, and acknowledging the detrimental effects of the PACE trial. Contact your MP now
Support our #MEAction UK fundraiser to hire an on-the-ground organiser for advocacy, campaigns and medical outreach.
How to get involved

To get more involved in advocacy, education, and outreach in the UK, contact uk@meaction.net. You can also join a local Facebook group. Or, make an appointment to talk to a community organizer if you have questions about how best to get involved.
