I keep worrying that I'm over-hyping this but then I remember how brilliant Chloe is and I actually think I'm under-hyping it

We're just one week away from our very first TB Ed Talk! Submit your questions for Chloe here: tbfighters.org/tb-ed... #TBSky #MedSky #HealthJustice

Why are community health workers (CHWs) with experience in the community they're serving so important? @pih.org understands the wisdom that CHWs bring to the table. Watch the whole #TBReaders interview with Dr. Joia Muhkerjee here: www.youtube.com/live/vx7LlCc... #GlobalHealth #HealthEquity

TB is the world's DEADLIEST infectious disease, claiming 1.25M+ LIVES every year despite being preventable AND curable 🤯 On Sept 24th, we're bringing together passionate advocates, decision-makers & experts, with one question on our minds: how can Canada #LeadOnTB?

"Tuberculosis is such the model disease of poverty." ICYMI: our #TBReaders Q&A with Dr. Joia Muhkerjee was both illuminating and inspiring! Watch the whole thing here: www.youtube.com/live/vx7LlCc...

Our live Q&A with Dr. Mukherjee is almost here! Join us Monday for a discussion of Mountains Beyond Mountains with one of the people there in the early days of @PIH.org #TBReaders

New research estimates that as many as 2.2 million more people could die of tuberculosis if U.S. cuts to foreign aid become permanent.

For those who care about TB—and humanity—this is a terrific and well-referenced article about the death and destruction sown by the current U.S. administration. www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis... thank you @cidrap, for this comprehensive reporting. @tbfighters.org @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

The @GlobalFund Results Report is now available. Working together, the Global Fund partnership has saved 70 MILLION lives since 2002. Investing in the Global Fund is one of the most effective ways to save lives, improve the health of many and reinforce global health security. https://bit.ly/4no4iPI

On Sept 25th, passionate advocates are flocking to Parliament Hill with one question: will Canada #LeadOnTB? And we aren't alone. Advocates in the US did the same at Capitol Hill, talking to decision-makers and shining a light on the world's deadliest infectious disease. Now it's our turn.

In Chapter 25 of Mountains Beyond Mountains, we see @PIH.org move mountains to help someone's child. #TBReaders

In Mountains Beyond Mountains Chapter 23, PIH set out to help people with multidrug-resistant #Tuberculosis in Peru, but they did not anticipate the pushback from the government and other major decision makers in global health. #TBReaders

Let’s talk “pocket rescissions.” An unlawful effort to cut spending. Follow the #thread to learn more or read more here: www.pih.org/article/pock... @tbfighters.org

"A small group of committed individuals" really can change the world. Paul Farmer knew it when he was fighting impossible odds in the early days of @PIH.org and we see it now as we fight injustice in its many forms. You just have to be a little crazy. #TBReaders

The administration's proposed #GlobalHealth budget would have cut funding from $10 billion to $3.7 billion, but the fact that the House proposed budget retains most of last year's funding level is a huge win and it's thanks to YOUR advocacy efforts!

Starting soon!

On 9/18, #TBReaders is starting The Underdream by Aiyana Masla, a brilliantly poignant collection of poems written while Masla was recovering from #Tuberculosis . Order it at www.aiyanamasla.com/... or request it at your local library! tbfighters.org/book-...

As we see ANOTHER huge drop in the cost of curing tuberculosis, I am reminded that 1. drugs are not expensive because they're made of platinum or something, and 2. the fruits of activism are often harvested over many years. Thanks to all the folks who made this happen. www.stoptb.org/news/breakin...

Help stop the White House from clawing back lifesaving aid and bypassing Congress! Join an advocacy session to make your voice heard. tbfighter.link/calendar #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #EndTB

$2.11 billion of #USAID global health funding has been intentionally left unspent. The government must obligate this money by Sept 30th. After that the funding will expire and can no longer be used. We can’t let that happen. Contact your reps now: act.pih.org/sept-30-...

Dr. Mukherjee is @PIH.org's Chief Medical Officer since 2000, a renowned global health professor, and was a close friend and collaborator with Dr. Paul Farmer. You might also recognize her as a regular guest on the Project for Awesome! Submit your questions now on the #TBReaders Discord

While resources are always limited, artificial constraints and refusal to recognize the cause behind those limitations often stand in the way of life-saving care. In Chapters 18 and 19, we witness health-care providers struggle to care for as many people as possible. #TBReaders

If you're interested in the playbook for how our government is intentionally (and illegally) withholding funds appropriated by Congress, this @nytimes.com article explores to playbook: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/h...

Join @resultscanada.bsky.social next week for an overview of the power of Canadian advocacy and why your voice matters! This info session is an excellent introduction for those joining the Sept 25 #LeadOnTB Hill Day, but is relevant to advocates anywhere in Canada us02web.zoom.us/meet...

In Chapter 17 of Mountains Beyond Mountains, we glimpse the lengths Dr. Farmer would go to for @PIH.org's mission of providing a preferential option for the poor. #TBReaders

Changing the minds of key decision makers is a challenge we often face as #TBFighters and global health advocates. In Chapter 16 of Mountains Beyond Mountains, @PIH.org confronts resistance from health authorities as they start treating people with drug-resistant TB. #TBReaders

Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...

🚨 Calling all Canadians 🚨 Raise your voice. End TB. Save lives. TB—the world’s deadliest infectious disease—is preventable, treatable, curable. Read that again. Then join us in pushing for change. #LeadOnTB #EndTB #GlobalHealth #HealthEquity #TBFreeWorld @tbfighters.org

We had such a great time at the US #TBHillDay in April we're taking it up north!🇨🇦 Join us for the #LeadOnTB Advocacy Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Sept 25, 2025: bit.ly/LeadOnTB

Global health funding just took a major hit. So… what happens next? Ask us directly in our Reddit AMA on Mon, Aug 18 at 2 PM ET with Vincent Lin & Lucas Allen from our advocacy team. Follow the thread for more information and get reminded of the event: bit.ly/3Hkyv2S

There are many times in Mountains Beyond Mountains that we see well-meaning medical professionals ignore the things that are important to their patients. Why is it important for medical professionals and other “outsiders” to honor the importance people assign to their own lives? #TBReaders
