Who says tuberculosis has a PR problem? Thanks to John Green, TB community has managed to raise its voice loud and clear to share that the situation is still bad on the ground after the US funding cuts. And action is needed now to mitigate the damage done. @tbcommunityhub.bsky.social #TbSky

People-centered, community-led TB responses help reach the most marginalized—rural communities, those facing geographical barriers, and those left behind. TB services must be accessible to ALL.

TB isn’t just about medication. It’s about dignity. It’s about mental health. It’s about peer support. Communities are leading the fight—not just against TB but against stigma, discrimination, and the systemic barriers that hold us back.

Communities affected by TB are the experts in what works. Yet, we are still fighting for our voices to be heard in policymaking spaces. No one can replace us in outreach, advocacy, and shaping better TB programs. It’s time for real inclusion!

Every day, hundreds die from a preventable and curable disease. We have the medicine & the technology. If we’re not ending TB, the problem is no longer the bacteria—it’s the lack of investment, political will, & leadership. The time to act is NOW! #yeswecanendtb #commitinvestdeliver #worldtbday2025

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
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

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
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

Services collapsing as USAID cuts health contracts worldwide
U.S.-funded health projects around the world, including those providing lifesaving care, received termination notices from Washington on Thursday as President Donald Trump's administration neared completion of a review to ensure grants are aligned with its "America First" policy.

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
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

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.
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
