A global day of protest for ME and CFS
#MillionsMissing is dedicated to the millions of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients missing from their careers, schools, social lives and families due to the debilitating symptoms of the disease. At the same time, millions of dollars are missing from research and clinical education funding that ME should be receiving. And millions of doctors are missing out on proper training to diagnose and help patients manage this illness.
On May 25th, 2016 #MEAction is global day of action for equality for ME. ME patients, advocates, caregivers, and allies will join together to protest of the lack of government funding for research, clinical trials and medical/public education, leaving ME patients without relief.

Virtual protest
Due to the nature of ME, we anticipate that many will not be able to personally attend and that is why we would like to invite patients to attend the protest virtually.

#MillionsMissing will remain an ongoing campaign within the ME and CFS community, even after the May protest. We plan to announce future initiatives in the coming months! If you have an idea for #MillionsMissing, tell us about it.
