The European Commission is responsible for shaping and implementing policies that impact the lives of millions of people across Europe. By sending a postcard to Stella Kyriakides (Commissioner for Health) and Margrethe Vestager (Commissioner for Research) you can make them aware of the challenges faced by people with Long COVID and associated diseases like ME/CFS, POTS or SFN and demand that they take decisive action to tackle the Long COVID crisis. Send the postcards in the timeframe of 05.06.2023 – 09.06.2023 to the EU commissioners and share the call for action under the hashtag #LetterForLife on social media.
Tip: With the MyPostCard app, you can finish the postcard today and have it sent later.
In your postcard , you can explain how Long COVID has affected you personally. This could include describing the symptoms you have experienced, the impact on your work or daily life, and any difficulties you have faced in accessing healthcare or support. You can also highlight the wider impact of Long COVID on society as a whole, including the economic and social costs of the condition.
You should demand that the European Commission takes immediate action to address the Long COVID crisis with all the power at its disposal. This could include calling for more research into the condition, increased funding for healthcare and support services, and measures to ensure that people with Long COVID are not discriminated against or excluded from society.
If you are no longer able to bring a postcard yourself to the post office, you can also use digital services such as MyPostcard to send postcards. Further down the page you will also find images you can use for your postcard. We have also created a MyPostcard Guide for you in case you have difficulties using the service.
After writing your postcard, post a photo of it on social media with the hashtag #LetterForLife to raise awareness of the campaign
