Participate in trainings, interviews, Proclamations, town halls, and collaborations with other chronic illness advocates and organizations. We’re turning the month of May into one of the largest public awareness months!

We are proud to be working with Looms for Lupus, Community Movement Coalition, Men With Fibromyalgia, My Several Worlds, Heart, Faith & Strength, Fibromyalgia Pain Chronicles, and the Veteran Voices For Fibromyalgia for May Awareness Campaigns that support Fibromyalgia, Lupus and Mental Health.

We sometimes forget that we do have the power to change things. As a Fibromyalgia patient we may feel defeated as most of us struggle to survive. A successful campaign is a joint effort that requires numerous people and tools to reach critical mass. By participating in the process, it allows your voice to be heard and it does make a difference!

Congress represents all of us. If we want more research and the cure, we will need to fight for it. The NIH needs to do more for Fibromyalgia research and we must let our representatives know! Sixty-five percent of House Chiefs of Staff would rather get a request from a constituent for a meeting than from anyone else.

Our advocacy efforts will lay down the groundwork for future years. We’ll continue to educate legislators and staff on Fibromyalgia, build relationships for future actions, and begin a new phase of training for Fibromyalgia around the country!
