#MillionsMissing 2022 Will Be In Two Parts
https://www.meaction.net/2022/02/08/millionsmissing2022-will-be-in-2parts/

MEAction said:
This year, we are excited to announce that #MillionsMissing will be held in two parts: May and September!

#MillionsMissing is about demonstrating our community’s collective refusal to let the stories of people with ME be erased, or access to healthcare and medical research blocked. We protest against all barriers to justice for the growing community of people with ME, including those affected by Long COVID and other complex chronic conditions.

In May, we will focus on coming together virtually to celebrate our vibrant community through support, art, and empowerment.

In September, our goal will be to gather in person, in ways that are safe to do so, and use the power of our collective action to win widespread attention for the health justice we all need.

The CDC's National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) is even sharing some stories for the occasion.
https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/patient-stories/index.html

This series highlights people with ME/CFS in their own voices. These stories are from women and men, from people still working and those who can no longer work, from patients and caregivers, and from people of different ages and racial and ethnic groups. We are honored they have chosen to share their stories.
