This meeting is intended to empower individuals to advocate for better recognition, treatment, and research funding for ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) and Long Covid. Volunteers discuss advocacy initiatives and collaborate on strategies to raise awareness and drive change.
Whether you feel like a pro or have no experience as an advocate, we need you! We welcome anyone affected by ME/CFS and Long COVID, including patients, caregivers, and healthy allies to join these meetings and contribute to the collective effort of improving lives and advancing the cause of ME/CFS in NC and surrounding states.
There are volunteer opportunities for every person no matter their energy level or capacity. We keep our meetings to 1 hour to limit exhaustion and PEM. We encourage people to come as you are, and let us know how we can make our work accessible to you.
ME/CFS and Long Covid are serious conditions that have disabled many, cost billions to our economy, and disrupted career and family life for millions. We are the NC State Chapter of #MEAction, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to building awareness and power to achieve effective and well-funded research, treatment, care, and support for all people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
As COVID continues, it is increasing the number of North Carolinians with ME/CFS and Long Covid. Please support the Airborne Act to improve ventilation and filtration in non-residential buildings.
