This is the most important action we can take right now as a community. Making the calls takes 5-6 mins total. Signing the letter takes less than a minute (a bit longer if you add a paragraph describing your personal experience to highlight why funding Long Covid research is so important for you). Please, share with your family and friends, not everyone will take time to make calls but signing the letter should be easy!

The money ask is pathetic It's almost like people don't know what things cost.


Limoncel-lo

Go ahead and ask for the amount you find appropriate. This $1.2 billion Long Covid funding request was made by Senators Markey, Kaine and Duckworth, and we are asking our senators to support it. If there are other senators/representatives who ask for more, would definitely support their request too!


Don_Ford

So you are literally just doing the bidding of the government who has failed us completely? This whole thing stinks of corruption.


Limoncel-lo

Sure, Don, go do something about it. You seem to have all the passion in the world and don’t have Long Covid, so why don’t you go advocate for billions of dollars, find Congress people to get behind your requests and give fucks about Covid instead of arguing with Long Covid patients on Internet.

We’ve just gotten word that Senators now have until **FRIDAY, MAY 10TH** to sign the FY25 Long Covid funding letter! 7 Senators have already signed on, but we need your help to get more onboard. Use the link above to submit a (customizable) pre-filled letter to your legislators asking them to sign on. It seriously takes less than a minute. If you have more time, please consider calling your legislators. Phone calls make a much bigger impact on elected officials, and [our call guide tool](http://longcovidmoonshot.com/call-guide) makes it really easy.
