[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress
I remember
the isolation and uncertainty that came with the COVID lockdown of 2020.
It was difficult to think about the future — we all took things
day-by-day, hour-by-hour, and sometimes, minute-by-minute.
In 2024, we’re no longer living under those same restrictions, but
millions of Americans are still facing their challenges in solitude due to
a Long COVID diagnosis — with no end in sight. People with Long COVID
deserve a robust federal response to acknowledge and alleviate the
difficulties they've been dealt. They deserve to be seen. And we can’t
leave anyone behind as we continue to recover from the pandemic.
That’s why I just introduced the Long Covid Research Moonshot Act with my
sister-in-service Ilhan Omar. Our bill builds on my TREAT Long COVID Act
to invest the resources necessary to confront this crisis head-on, and it
will help ensure that no one is left out in our pandemic recovery. [ [link removed] ]The
Long COVID crisis has been ignored for far too long at the expense of
people’s everyday lives. The Long Covid Research Moonshot Act will fund
critical research to better understand and treat Long COVID. Please add
your name today as a grassroots co-sponsor of this bill to show your
support.

This critical legislation will allocate $10 billion in funding to fight
Long COVID, establish a new research program to better understand this
condition that has left patients with no answers, and will fund care
clinics dedicated to Long COVID in disproportionately affected
communities. Women, communities of color, and folks with disabilities have
been disproportionately harmed by Long COVID, which has also left many
people disabled and unable to work.
There is no returning to the "normal" pre-COVID status quo, because that
status quo was unjust to begin with — and not when millions of people in
America are STILL living with the aftershocks of this disease. The
pandemic has left unerasable scars on all of us, no doubt. And for so many
people with Long COVID, there are more than scars, there is the daily
reality of a disease that won’t quit, and little support to navigate it.
[ [link removed] ]People with Long COVID should not have to suffer in silence. Please,
add your name today to show your support of this bill and help grow the
momentum we need to get it passed.
Onward,
Ayanna
