On May 12th, #MEAction and Body Politic set up 300 cots, each with a blanket and a personalized pillowcase, on the grassy area at the base of the Washington Monument for Millions Missing 2023. It created a powerful image.

#MEAction has created a 20 minute video slideshow with photos of these pillowcases:

@PurpleSpeedwell @mecfs So sad to see such young folks living with ME/CFS 😢

When I was looking for ideas for a pillowcase for the recent Millions Missing event at the Washington Monument (decorated pillowcases sent in by ME/CFS and Long Covid patients) someone mentioned this image to me. So poignant.

I wasn't sure I could draw a rope or chain well enough to show what was meant so I put the butterfly in a cage (easier to draw).

I'm almost finished with my pillowcase for Millions Missing 2023! 😀 I should have it packed and in the mail by Monday.

Project details: https://millionsmissing.meaction.net/pillowcase-decoration-project/

There's still time to send in a pillowcase - anyone from any country can send in a pillowcase, not just US folks.

One option is to design it online using Zazzle and have them ship it directly to Washington, DC.

See link above for mailing address, see reply for link to Zazzle.
