Take Action

Tuberculosis is a complex social justice issue, so we tackle it from multiple angles. This includes government policy, funding, and access to testing and treatments. You can join us and help save lives by demanding affordable testing, advocating to protect government global health funding, or educating yourself and others. Pick the lanes that look most interesting, fun, or important to you!

Things change quickly in the TB landscape! To stay updated on the latest calls to action, follow TBFighters on social media and subscribe to our newsletter.

US: Half of the global health money earmarked for TB is in jeopardy if it isn't spent by September 30th. We need to pressure our representatives to demand the Trump administration to follow through on this legally obligated funding. Email your senators now!

Test cartridge Affordable Testing

Danaher, a large biotechnology company, makes some of the best-in-class TB tests, yet they grossly overprice the tests for the people who can least afford it. In 2023, after pressure from TBFighters and others, Danaher promised to sell their basic GeneXpert tests at cost. Since then, we have seen no proof that their tests truly are being sold at cost. TBFighters are keeping up an active campaign to remind Danaher of their promises and urge them to lower the prices on all of their tests, such as drug-resistant TB, HIV, hepatitis, and many sexually transmitted infections.

Many countries, led by the United States, have slashed their foreign aid budgets in recent months. Cuts to USAID, the Global Fund, and PEPFAR have already caused unnecessary death and increased antimicrobial resistance. Together we still have a chance to restore these crucial funds.
