For the first time in 20 years, we are losing progress on ending extreme poverty. COVID-19 has disrupted every facet of daily life around the world with over 150 million people predicted to be pushed into extreme poverty by the end of 2021. As many countries face inwards to address domestic needs, the devastating secondary effects of COVID-19 are widening the gaps of inequality around the world. Our #StopTheDeadlyDivide campaign focuses on the urgent need to work together to find ways to prevent the world’s progress from backsliding during the COVID-19 crisis.

Our #StopTheDeadlyDivide campaign this month highlights the impact of COVID-19 on the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic and calls on Canada to continue to support the work of TB REACH.
All of our voices together can change the world and change the lives that others live.

More than 4,000 people die every day from tuberculosis (TB). To raise awareness, the international community puts the spotlight on World TB Day every year on March 24. This year, Results Canada volunteers and Stop TB Canada network partners are joining efforts again to mark the day by getting buildings and monuments in Canada lit up in red.
February is Black History Month in Canada. We must actively and intentionally weave anti-oppression into our advocacy to ensure that as we work to eliminate extreme poverty, we are simultaneously striving to eliminate structural and systemic white-supremacy, racism, and inequities.
