LONG COVID AWARENESS DAY

MARCH 15TH 2025

5 Years of Long Covid - Half a Decade of Neglect

IT’S TIME TO MAKE IT VISIBLE.

WE WON'T ACCEPT ANOTHER 5 YEARS IGNORED LIKE THIS!

Along with our Berlin protest, we're calling for a Europe-wide decentralised protest on March 15th 2025.

Time: 1PM West Europe | 2PM Central Europe | 3PM East Europe

Location: Everywhere, your home, your street, or a local meetup.

Want to get involved in other continents? Feel free to suggest a synchronised time and join us in this campaign! Together, we can make an impact.

For five years—half a decade—millions have been suffering: no treatments, no support, limited recognition, lack of awareness. People with Long COVID are incredibly sick yet continue to face widespread neglect from the medical system. People are losing their ability to earn an income and support themselves; they're losing connection to their friends, partners, and families. As SARS2 continues to spread, people will continue to be impacted. Governments are failing us.

How to participate:

From Home: Sit outside your home, on your balcony, or just from bed or your couch with a protest sign, take a photo, and share on social media.

Small Public Protests: Gather in pairs or small groups in public places with signs.

Join a City Protest: We'll try to include any protests we are informed of below.

Use the hashtags: #5YearsLongCovid #HalfADecadeOfNeglect #LongCovidAwarenessDay2025

To create a synchronised action across Europe, we encourage participants to post their photos/videos from:

1PM (West) - UK, Ireland, Portugal

2PM (Central) - Berlin, Paris, Rome, and most of Europe

3PM (East) - Greece, Romania, Ukraine, Finland

Let’s do this together!

Planned Protests: If you're organising an event in your city, let us know! We'll list it on this page so others can join. Submit your protest details via our contact form.

Promo material: If you're with another advocacy group and would like the Photoshop files to translate the social media info materials to your language and share, email us and we’ll send the files!

Need a sign? We've got you covered! Download one you’d like to print here or make your own! P.S. If you’d like to help translate the files into other languages, email us for the illustrator file!

The more people join, the louder we can make our message. Help us by sharing this link with friends, family, allies and other groups!
