Contact your city clerk, mayor, city manager, county supervisor, or other official’s office and find out their specific process for issuing proclamations. Let them know you want to request one naming the month of May as Fibromyalgia Awareness Month. Find out the names of officials and the appropriate contact information for submitting your proposal. Some cities have online forms.

We would love to show the world how much we #SupportFibro during the month of May by using our Proclamation Example! You can download our example proclamation and send it in or copy and paste into an online form. CLICK HERE

For this year, ask to have your proclamation mailed to you. Normally we would ask to have the signing of your proclamation put on the agenda. (This may require a lead time of two or more weeks.) You can normally pick-up in person, get a photograph of you (or a loved one) holding the proclamation with the official. Next year!

Be sure to send Support Fibro a photograph of you and your proclamation! You can also send it to your local newspaper with a short press release explaining how you became interested in Fibromyalgia and why you are educating others. Post the photo and story on social media, tag with #SupportFibro.
