We too have a protest going in New Hampshire as part of the Worldwide Lyme Disease Protests. I keep hearing 30 countries and 20 plus states involved.
Does any one know where a list is that actually tells what countries and states are stepping up to the plate?
Also...looks like NYC has an amazing event planned. Thank you for sharing.

For Immediate Release May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month and the Kentuckiana Lyme Support Group offers a free showing of the award winning documentary Under Our Skin on 5/11 at 5pm
The Kentuckiana Lyme Support Group is hosting a free showing of the award winning documentary Under Our Skin at 5pm on May 11th at Hurstbourne Christian Church at 601 Nottingham Parkway, Louisville, KY 40222.
In addition to activities in the US, Lyme advocates in 30 countries are hosting awareness and education events on May 10th & 11th as a part of a Worldwide Lyme Protest.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more 1 million US residents have been infected with Lyme disease between 2009 and 2011 alone.
It is the fastest growing infectious disease in America and the vast majority of those infected remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed with ailments such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Dementia, Autism and even MS and ALS.
The primary vector of Lyme disease is the tiny Deer Tick, and the presence of this species is growing in and around Kentuckiana.
Released in 2008, Under Our Skin explains the key issues surrounding the prevention and treatment of Lyme disease and the devastating effects of infections that are under treated and allowed to spread due to ignorance surrounding the facts and scope of this epidemic.
With more than 4.3 million people infected since 1990 according to CDC statistics, many know someone suffering with Lyme disease.
In the absence of an appropriate national public health response to this growing epidemic, more and more families will face the trauma and sadness of supporting a loved one suffering from this debilitating and deadly disease.
Please share this invitation with others and encourage them to attend this event. For more information you can phone (502) 383-1660 or visit www.kentuckyindianalymesupport.org
This list is intended for patients to support each other and to share information and personal experiences, not to give medical advice. If you are interested in any treatment discussed here, please consult your doctor.

I noticed there were only around 2.000 likes on The Wordwide Lyme Protest Facebook page.
Do you think we are all still feel awkward about putting it out there? I know I do and I find it difficult to explain why. You can also change your FB status to a Lyme Lives Here USA logo as a show of support. I was going to do that plus "like" the site but something held me back.
I have dealt with this disease very quietly and very privately and part of me wanted to put this out there, but so far I just can't do it. I think we are so used to going underground that it is difficult to let that go.
Thank goodness for this board where I can come here and vent.

Robin123, your mail box if full. So I'll just post it here. Thanks for cleaning up my big block thread above.
If I only had a brain (non-lyme) I would of realized and cleaned/spaced it up myself.
Thanks again, Pam

We had our protest here in London on 10 May - it was the largest we have had so far and garnered a lot of media attention, including on national TV (very rare for us).
I am sorry to report that our main Lyme disease campaign, "Lyme Disease Action" distanced itself from the protest and only gave it a passing mention, no real support. We were protesting outside our Dept of Health and as LDA's official new policy is that they are "co-operating" with the Dept of Health, they could not be seen to be protesting outside it. They are assuring us that great things are coming from their co-operation with the authorities, especially our main Lyme testing lab at Porton Down (which also just happens to be our main biowarfare centre).But in fact nothing has changed whatsoever.
There are many videos of it online, but I like this one as although the quality is poor, it does show that biowarfare issue was raised at our rally - something we were told by the organiser was not allowed!

I know this is an old post now, but I just got brought back to it searching for something in the past.. and I want to mention that Yolanda Foster did show up to the California Worldwide Lyme Protest. There were multiple protests held across not only the US but the world. For pictures of Yolanda you can click here http://worldwidelymediseaseprotestus.blogspot.com/2013/02/california-worldwide-protest.html
and for pictures of all the protests you can visit here and hover over each country and which year you want, as we did it two years in a row now. http://www.worldwidelymeassociation.com/
