Tell Congress to Support Funding Equality for ME
Our Ask
As the only moral response to more than thirty years of official and medical neglect of this illness, we demand that Congress increase NIH research funding to $250 million per year, a level proportionate to the disease’s severity, prevalence and impact.
Our Goal
50,000 signatures in total and at least 500 signatures from every state.
In order to accomplish this, we will need to recruit the help of able patients and healthy #MEAllies to bring the petition and its message out into the world and into our schools, churches, workplaces; into our local communities.
Share your story
We want to present our elected leaders with real stories from the lives of their constituents who have been affected by ME. When you sign, please consider leaving a comment, story, or testimonial.

Welcome to the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Action Network
Together we can become the strength of our true numbers.
#MEAction is an international network of patients empowering each other to fight for health equality for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
#MEAction is not structured like a traditional advocacy organization or patients’ association. We are primarily a platform, designed to empower patients advocates and organizations, wherever they might be, with the technological tools and training to do what they are already doing – better.
We were founded with the belief that while we may find it difficult to advocate for ourselves in the physical world, in the virtual world, we can be an unstoppable force.
