NYC should light up in teal for International Long COVID Awareness Day! Join our Petition!

March 15 is International Long COVID Awareness Day. NYC was an early pandemic epicenter, and countless New Yorkers now face Long COVID without FDA-approved treatments or diagnostic biomarkers. We wrote to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani asking NYC to join Los Angeles and other cities around the world in recognizing Long COVID as a historic struggle. We want New York City Hall to light up in teal on March 15 in observance of Long COVID Awareness Day. We created a petition for everyone to join our action. You can also additionally send a personal note directly to Mayor Mamdani. 

We also created a letter template in our Health Justice Toolkit for New Yorkers to write to their Council Members to demand a motion for March 15 recognition. 

The recognition is a needed step to offer visibility and hope to New Yorkers and millions of others living with Long COVID globally.
