This is a BRILLIANT idea!
Part of the new Millions Missing campaign - millions of us missing from our lives, millions missing from our research funding...
There's going to be a protest in Washingon DC and San Francisco in May and you can send a pair of shoes (either yours, or a cheap pair from Ebay or Amazon) to represent you at the protest.
Genius! I'll definitely be sending a pair.
Other methods of virtual protest too.
Details here.
Very creative!

#MEAction said:To participate in the #MillionsMissing campaign, please send your shoes to:
Paige Maxon
P.O. Box 26051
Winston Salem, NC
27114
(The shoes will be transported to the DC demonstration from NC)
AND Fill Out this Form, if you have not already.
**Include your name on the return address of your shipment to match your name on the form.**
Please have your shoes mailed by Tuesday, May 10th
You can send a pair of old shoes or if it’s difficult to get to the post office, order shoes on Amazon or Ebay and have them shipped directly to us. Try to send a pair of shoes that represents you – perhaps your personality, fashion style, age, gender, or careers and hobbies that you may not be able to participate in any longer.
During the protest, we will post images of these shoes to #MEAction’s social media account using the #MillionsMissing hashtag, so patients can see that they are being represented during the demonstration. The shoes will also be tagged with your information from the form.
If you have any questions, please email millionsmissing@meaction.net
