One government & a handful of donors won't solve #LongCOVID. From EU to Gulf States donors, UN to G20, multilateral funds to traditional global health foundations who haven't yet come to the table—our Long COVID advocacy must be a GLOBAL call for GLOBAL strategy & solution. 4/x

As @michaelpelusomd.bsky.social shared: "We need to plan for the long game." @lccampaign.bsky.social believes #LongCOVID advocacy must now organize to GO GLOBAL—as otherwise work will continue to be delayed & diffused, when need acceleration & efficiency to best serve ALL patients & communities. 3/x

@lccampaign.bsky.social call to action: "Clinicians, researchers, nonprofit partners, donors, regulators, patients & advocates around the world need to gather to develop a specific, time-bound 'Global Long COVID Roadmap', w/funding goals, scientific goalposts & clear multi-year strategy" 2/x

We need a #GlobalLongCOVIDRoadmap. No global health concern—from malaria to TB, HIV/AIDS to polio—has successfully mobilized research funding, accessible treatment or achieved scientific breakthroughs at the scale & pace needed without an international effort. #Keystone
Thank you @michaelpelusomd.bsky.social for closing your #Keystone Long COVID opening keynote by highlighting the crucial role of collective community #LongCOVID advocacy efforts & sharing @lccampaign.bsky.social call to action: the urgent, critical need for a "Global Long COVID Roadmap" 1/x

Look, when our @erubie.bsky.social‬ is in the room, senators are going to know the Long COVID community was present & is asking for their support! Thanks for jumping in yesterday, flying the flag & being such a key part of our Long COVID Campaign team. #disabledwomenFTW
Was able to thank @pattymurray.bsky.social in person after the hearing. Equally grateful to Senator Collins for this bipartisan space to highlight the importance of biomedical research and of ensuring sufficient funding for it!

I wanted to break down yesterday's Senate Appropriations medical research hearing & why matters to so many of us individually & as a community. And most importantly, the opening to work with bipartisan Hill leaders on #LongCOVID research funding. Let's decide to keep contending for all of us. 3/3

BlueSky still only allows short videos, so had to cut into 3 chunks & generate new caption files for accessibility for each video, so took more spoons than I had yesterday after being on The Hill! I know many folks in our community not on Twitter, so wanted to share some encouragement here too. 2/x

“It's only been because of solutions and options that other patients online have shared with me, and I'm so thankful for that patient community because otherwise I would still be bed bound.” @meighanstone.bsky.social @lccampaign.bsky.social nebraskapublicmedia.org/en/news/news...
Long-COVID research funding was pulled, then brought back. Patients say the research is vital
Funding for post-COVID research was cut from federal budgets about a month ago. But because of patient advocacy, some of those grants have been restored.
