#TBHillDay has been an incredible success with an impact we can only imagine! We're so thankful to everyone who joined us in DC or virtually to help us speak with over TWO HUNDRED congressional offices about #Tuberculosis funding!
Amid the heartbreak in so many directions, it was a wondrous balm to spend today on Capitol Hill with over 200 TB Fighters from every state in the U.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who made it happen from @tbfighters.org to @partnersinhealth.bsky.social. Together, we are strong.
