The e-mail alert service, formerly known as C-ACT, now has a name that better reflects the purpose of this advocacy group: the Grassroots Action Center Listserv (GAC listserv). This CFIDS Association's new Grassroots Action Center has generated almost 10,000 messages of support for increased Chronic Fatigue Syndrome research and awareness to senators, representatives, other members of the federal government, and members of the media.

A new interactive tool on the Grassroots Action Center Web site provides search areas for your elected officials (by zip code), issues and legislature related to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and a guide to the media.

Anyone already receiving the C-ACT e-mail notifications will already receive the new alerts. If you aren't yet on the list, you can sign up for e-mail notifications on the Grassroots Action Center Listserv page.

The Grassroots Action Center Listserv is the advocacy group for The CFIDS Association.

Note: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is also sometimes referred to as Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS). For more information, see: What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
