World TB Day 2022: Take action today

Invest to end TB. Save lives.

COVID-19 disruptions to tuberculosis (TB) care resulted in the first year-on-year increase in global TB deaths in over a decade. To raise awareness, the international community is putting the spotlight on World TB Day March 24 to stand in solidarity with the millions of people who suffer from TB and the millions who have lost their lives. 

Before March 24 - here’s what you can do:

• learn about TB and take action by consulting our current call-to-action
• get involved by joining us as a volunteer

On World TB Day  - here’s what you can do:

• use our social media toolkit 
• take a photo or a video with a lit up landmark or monument near you (see list below). If you don’t live near one, take a selfie with a sign including the hashtags #EndTB and #Canada4Results, and share it on social media. Make sure you tag your MP and tell them why this landmark is lit up. Email us your photo and we could use it as part of a recap of the day.
• use social media to amplify published LTEs on TB.
• Share stories about people’s lived experience.
• Tell your friends and family why so many landmarks are lit up in red to recognize World TB Day.
