Advocacy with our partner #MEAction

 
 

Body Politic is actively working with #MEAction to preserve the foundation of advocacy and community relationships that we have built these last three years in partnership with organizations and leaders in disability justice and chronic illness activism.  While our strategies must shift in this new phase of the work, we remain committed to our mission: Through a global network of COVID-19 patients, chronic illness allies, and health and disability advocates, Body Politic continues to break down barriers to patient-driven whole-person care and well-being, particularly for historically marginalized communities by facilitating peer-support, cultivating patient-led research and public education, and leading community-based advocacy.

Read more about our partnership below. We encourage you to follow the #MEAction Network wherever you prefer to receive updates online: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email newsletter to find out about the latest advocacy opportunities to participate in.
