Dear _____,
I am a proud supporter of #MEAction because #MEAction prides itself on being an activism first organization. This year’s #MillionsMissing event is sending out the SOS signal in response to threats to the infrastructures that sustain our communities - threats to our healthcare, research funding and access to disability services.
On May 12th, #MEAction is organizing a community-wide protest to send out an SOS to our elected officials: Save our Support Systems. Save our Science. Save Our Society.
#MEAction is fighting now to save basic access to health care and home support via Medicaid for millions of people in our community. They are fighting to save federal research funding for myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and Long COVID. #MEAction is fighting to protect access to disability services that enable us to participate more fully in society.
#MEAction was built for times like this. They need our financial support to continue fighting for the ME community. They are doing everything in our power to save the sinking ship!
My goal is to help #MEAction raise $ 200,000 to support their much needed activism and work! Will you join me in supporting #MEAction and #MillionsMissing by making a donation to my fundraiser today?
This year alone, #MEAction has used their organizing experience to meet this moment:
-
Hosted a Community Town Hall
-
Organized a Medicaid Call Party to tell Congress to protect Medicaid
-
Stand Up for Science Protest: Director of US Advocacy, Ben HsuBorger attended
-
Sent a Letter to Secretary of Health and Human Services asking him to save the Long COVID Advisory Committee (and volunteers created an accompanying video)
-
Action to save ME Research at Columbia University with #NotJustFatigue and Solve ME
-
Created a toolkit for people with ME to Protest.
Your donation today will sustain a global community of over 30,000 patients, caregivers, volunteers, and allies for the future. Together, we can work to raise awareness, educate medical doctors, grow the scientific field, and build a thriving community of support and friendship.
#MEAction is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are fully tax deductible for US taxpayers.
I hope you will join me in creating a world where all people with ME have access to compassionate, effective care.
Thank you in advance for your support,
​
