I encourage patients and allies who are feeling discouraged to join the Millions Missing 2025 campaign:
https://www.meactions.org/millionsmissing2025
The SOS theme = "Save our support systems. Save our science. Save our society."
The main event is a protest on May 12 in Washington, DC. There'll be smaller events across the US. Or schedule a meeting with your local congress rep
Can't attend in person? Join in online on May 12
