Global Allies Program: Partners Ending Poverty with RESULTS (July Webinar)
July 14, 2023
Bringing TB to the attention of our community and our Representatives can be challenging. Did your Representatives sign the UN HLM letter? Perhaps they supported $1 Billion in funding for TB but didn’t take this action? What should your next step be? At last night’s webinars, we discussed ways that we can continue engagement with our members of Congress and get them to respond and be one step closer to taking legislative action. Find tools and resources below that can help you determine your next steps as you continue follow-up advocacy actions on the End TB Now Act (S. 288/ H.R. 1776).
