On May 12–the day after the US Public Health Emergency will lapse—#MEAction & #BodyPolitic are holding a protest at the Washington Monument in DC to demand action on #LongCovid #MECFS & related diseases.

Inspired especially by the January #NichtGenesen protest in Germany, it will have rows of cots w/pillowcases decorated by patients & allies.

#pwME and #pwLC have started sharing the pillowcases they’re sending to the #MillionsMissing protest on May 12, the day after the #Covid Public Health Emergency ends in the US. These will be part of an #art installation of rows of empty cots at the Washington Monument.

I was not prepared for how strongly this would evoke the #AIDS quilt.

Not too late to send one—
