I just donated what I can to the #KeepTheLightsOn campaign to help #FundTBnow in an individual capacity. You can #SupportTBcommunities here now too 👉 act.unfoundation.org/onlineaction...

The fight for #Tuberculosis funding isn't only for US citizens and residents! Every country should step up to create a more equitable world. Use our template adapted from @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social to let officials know global health matters—no matter where you live. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Slashing TB funding doesn’t just stall progress—it abandons people mid-treatment, disrupts care, and costs lives. The world can't afford to look away! #FundTBNow

💰 World Bank funds could help address the gaps left by the US withdrawal from global HIV and TB programs. 🙋🏽‍♀️Want to understand how? 🚨Check out these step-by-step briefers from the Change Coalition on emergency measures countries can take now. bit.ly/WBHIVTB bit.ly/PFTBHIV

The administration has taken a wrecking ball to critical TB programming + services across the 🌍. We support our partners @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social led by TB advocates + health workers in the global south, whose lifesaving work has been woefully damaged by U.S. funding cuts. #RestoreTBFunding

Things are changing fast, but the path to #EndTB is clear: together. Join our group call sessions to raise your voice in community! Our advocacy is at its best when we're united towards the goal of a world where no one dies of curable disease 📞 act.pih.org/foreign-aid-... 🗓️ tbfighter.link/calendar

The Fight Against TB Must Go On – We Will Not Let Progress Slip Away! We were on the right track. Now, more than ever, we must step up, fill the gap, and forge new pathways. Together, we will build the bridges needed to end TB—no one must be left behind! #Keepthelightson #SupportTBCommunities #EndTB

"Despair, frustration, uncertainty, anger and pain... These are the feelings of hundreds of thousands of people who have had their services to those in need stopped in an instant." Hear from TB People Global who react to how #FundingCutsCostsLives 👇#FundTBNow www.facebook.com/share/p/1BSQ...

The US has led TB research & funding – until now. Halting funds abruptly abandons vulnerable communities and threatens decades of progress. We must not let this happen. #FundTBNow #FundingCutsCostLives

“People will die,” said Dr. @ckyobutungi.bsky.social, ED of @aphrc.bsky.social, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.” @stephanienolen.bsky.social covers the many cruel & dangerous cuts to lifesaving USAID projects. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h...

The sheer cruelty of the Trump administration is staggering Services to millions of people collapse as USAID cuts contracts worldwide www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Shout out to #TBSky and #IDSky and all health journalists to follow @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social l who will be posting in the near future about the heinous impact of UD fund cuts on TB community globally. #FundingCutsCostLives

Clinical trials are a lifeline for many. People who stepped forward for life-saving TB treatment are now left stranded. Pulling funding mid-trial is barbaric #FundTBNow

Just like HIV, TB community is massively affected by the fund cuts and termination of contracts. These callous decisions by the US government threaten to reverse thirty years of progress made in the treatment and care of tuberculosis. Follow @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social to know more. #IDSky #TBSky

Cutting funding doesn’t just harm those most at risk—it puts the entire world in danger. No one is safe until everyone is safe! #FundTBNow

This isn’t just a statistic—it’s lives lost, communities devastated, and progress reversed. We know how to #EndTB, but by cutting funding, we are choosing to let people suffer.

Mind blown that this can happen! All the progress we've made in #EndTB since the pandemic did so much damage. Where is the moral compass of leaders? 🤯 What about human value? 🤯

Each day of funding cuts means 11,000 people with TB may not complete their treatment. Stopping TB programs isn't just bad policy – it’s a public health catastrophe. Countless lives are at stake! #FundTBNow #FundingCutsCostLives

Colleagues from #EndTB communities in Kenya are speaking up about the impact of cutting funding for #TB programs. 🙌Listen to Evaline Kibuchi, Chief National Coordinator, Stop TB Partnership - Kenya

Imagine being in a clinical trial for life-saving TB treatment – then it stops overnight due to politics. Unethical. Deadly. Preventable. America must not choose this. #FundingCutsCostLives #FundTBNow

1.3 million people die from TB every year. Cutting investments now means more outbreaks, suffering, and preventable deaths. Countries and donors must step up NOW! #KeepTheLightsOn #FundTBNow

TB is airborne and knows no borders. Disruption of US-funded projects would fuel the global spread of TB and its resistant forms. The Kansas outbreak is a warning – TB anywhere is TB everywhere! #GlobalHealthSecurity #FundTBNow

“What we are demanding of Congress is that they stop behaving like doormats in the face of this attack on humanitarian assistance that truly is highly effective and life-saving.” Asia Russell, HealthGap www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just hearing about so many projects/clinical trials/NGOs working on TB and HIV being shut down across the globe. This is catastrophic and just criminal. All the progress made in last few decades on TB will be lost due to this heinous crime of the US Government.

Funding cuts on TB projects = halted clinical trials, disrupted testing, treatment and prevention services, and lost lives. This is unethical & deadly! The world cannot afford to turn its back on TB. #FundTBNow #EndTB

The halt in TB funding puts millions of lives at risk – it jeopardizes clinical trials, treatment programs & global health security. The United States administration must take immediate action to restore TB funding. #FundingCutsCostLives #EndTB

We applaud the opening of a phase IIb trial of TB vaccine MTBVAC in South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania, run by IAVI and funded by Gates Foundation, Open Philanthropy + the German government. We desperately need a broadly effective vaccine to end TB! www.iavi.org/press-releas...

Many #TB local #community organizations & their life saving wk has been impacted by the #USAID stop work order. While the US Administration reviews aid priorities, Stop TB has launched a fundraising campaign to support these orgs. Donate! #keepthelightson #endTB act.unfoundation.org/onlineaction...

Great article showing impact on Tuberculosis of funding freeze "Stopping this—literally overnight—means that these strains have the potential to spread not just abroad but here in the US." #EndTB #keepthelightson #11KEveryDay #RestoreTBFunding

Thanks @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social for putting #TB in the spotlight! And for voicing the impact on people affected by TB by these political changes and funding shifts👇

Stop work orders on TB projects = halted clinical trials, interrupted treatment, and lost lives. This is unethical & deadly! The world cannot afford to turn its back on TB. Read and amplify our statement here: docs.google.com/document/d/1... #RestoreTBFunding #EndTB
