Celebrating 50 countries: An update on the Global TB Caucus (message from Dr. Lucica Ditiu)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Four months ago I reached out to you to ask for your help in mobilizing Members of Parliament and elected officials to join the Global TB Caucus and sign the Barcelona Declaration, a call to action committing parliamentarians to take political leadership to secure an end to the tuberculosis epidemic within a generation.
The response has been a huge success - thanks to your outreach, there are now nearly 400 parliamentarians signed up from 50 countries (see the list here).
With less than six months left until the Global TB Caucus Meeting in Cape Town in November 2015, this is a great time to use the Barcelona Declaration to build new links and reach out to parliamentarians who have not yet signed to ask their support to End TB and join a growing global movement.
They can endorse the declaration electronically by signing here, and you can email us if we can support your outreach. I would be very grateful if you could share this message with other TB champions in your network.
Let's celebrate the milestone of parliamentarians from 50 countries declaring their support for the End of the TB epidemic within a generation, and work together to reach another 50 countries.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Lucica Ditiu
Executive Secretary
The Stop TB Partnership
