Long Covid Moonshot Bill

The Long Covid Moonshot Bill is a bill introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders that would provide desperately needed funding to monitor, research, and develop treatments for people suffering from the effects of Long Covid. If you want to participate in advocating for those affected, you can call or email your representatives and ask them to support the Long Covid Moonshot, or Write Your Legislators via the Moonshot website. You can read more specifics about the bill here: https://www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/8.2.2024-Long-COVID-Research-Moonshot-One-Pager.pdf
