Advocacy Week is a nationwide advocacy effort to connect people with ME/CFS, Long Covid, and other infection-associated chronic conditions (IACCIs), scientists, clinicians and caregivers to share their unique stories with Congress. Our goal is to make ME/CFS, Long Covid and other IACCIs widely understood, diagnosable, and treatable.

For Advocacy Week 2025, we are making sure every Member of Congress — especially new members — learns about ME/CFS and associated conditions and understands the urgent issues affecting millions of Americans. By working together, we can foster champions in Washington who will help drive meaningful change.
Your voice matters, and your story can make a real impact. Let’s connect, educate, and inspire action — together!
Social media is a powerful tool to engage your elected representatives and online community.
We’re asking our community to take two online actions for Advocacy Week Social Media Day (Wednesday, June 25):
1. Ask Your Representative to Cosponsor H.R. 3906
Send your representatives an email asking them to cosponsor H.R. 3906 the Medical Research For Our Troops Act, to fully restore funding for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP).
Earlier this year, this life-saving program was cut by 57%, threatening vital research that helps our service members, veterans, and everyday Americans. H.R. 3906 would fully restore the $859 million that was cut from CDMRP by the Continuing Resolution for fiscal year 2025, and funds all 35 CDMRP programs at fiscal year 2024 levels.
Take action here and share this message on your social channels to encourage others in your network to participate!
