We wrote to Mayor Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov but no one has responded to our multiple letters. We wrote to Governor Kathy Hochul @governor.ny.gov and I talked to her staff a week ago but have not heard back. So I turned to other NYC elected officials.🧵

"We have also turned to council member Gale Brewer @galeabrewer.bsky.social as well as Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social for their guidance and support, hopefully we will hear a response from the NYC government soon." 💚 @msjulieslam.bsky.social

We urgently await for response from @mayor.nyc.gov to our request for NYC to recognize #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay (March 15) —to acknowledge this historic struggle affecting at least 400 million people globally. Over 400 individuals, along with 21 organizations, are endorsing the proclamation. Join Us 💚

A few LC patient reps and a couple of scientists mask up at the NIH RECOVER Cycle 2 meeting. RECOVER provided surgical masks. Glad to hear in Q&A that masking is required at #longcovid assessment centers. And new survey will ask about other LC preventative measures. @togetherwemask.bsky.social

Julie took a selfie in a taxi to the airport. She’s wearing a flomask decorated with a sticker saying “Long COVlD Health Justice” and a mask chain made by her friend Kristina. On her yellow kind bag she has 3 buttons. Left is a button made by Kristina saying “Be Kind, wear a mask.” In the Middle is a button with 2026 Long Covid awareness that focuses on Cardiovascular Long COVlD.  The logo is from Long COVlD Awareness org and the sticker is a gift from Becky Ancira Robertson. On the right is the logo of MaskTogetherAmerica (@TogetherWeMask)
