January 21-31: Let’s #MakeLymeLoud, 50 years after Lyme was first recognized in the U.S.
IT’S LIVE: #MakeLymeLoud Email Campaign Jan. 21 – 31!
We’ve entered a pivotal year for Lyme disease advocacy – 2025 marks 50 years since
Lyme disease was first recognized in the U.S. The Quiet Epidemic (TQE) impact team
has launched a community-wide outreach campaign to educate the new Administration.
From January 21 to 31, this #MakeLymeLoud campaign page will be LIVE with a
pre-written letter for President Trump. The goal is to inform him about the growing threat
of Lyme and tick-borne diseases and encourage support for key initiatives to prioritize
solving this public health crisis.
If you want to make an impact for Lyme disease, this is a quick, simple, and free way to
make your voice heard. With a change in administration and momentum from recent
TQE events on Capitol Hill, this opportunity won’t come again. We need all hands on
deck.
Now that the campaign page is live, you can:
1. Send a Letter to President Trump (< 60 seconds)
2. Share the Call to Action by encouraging your family, colleagues, and friends to send
a letter (5 min)
3. Stay Engaged by spending five minutes a day, for ten days, amplifying the campaign
and recruiting your community to do the same (50 min)
Beyond educating the new Administration, the goal is to unite and elevate the Lyme
community. With your help, we will #MakeLymeLoud in 2025 in partnership with
LymeLight Foundation, Global Lyme Alliance, Project Lyme, NatCapLyme, LymeLnk,
Center for Lyme Action, Bay Area Lyme Foundation, Mothers Against Lyme,
LymeDisease.org, Generation Lyme, Colorado Tick-Borne Disease Awareness Association, and 20 additional organizations
across the country.
