Thank you to all the Champions who raised their voices in support of life-saving global malaria programs during our September virtual meetings! Because of your efforts, Meetings with Congress were a massive success! Champions representing 35 states interacted with 84 Congressional offices!
Congressional offices heard directly from constituents on the value of US leadership in Global Health. Advocates emphasized the broader benefits of malaria investments and highlighted the collaborative efforts of: The U.S. President’s Malaria Initiative; The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; UNICEF; and, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria, in advancing malaria elimination.
As Congress continues to negotiate the FY25 funding, our commitment to advocating on behalf of life saving malaria programs brings together U.S. constituents and international activists alike to demonstrate support and it reminds Congress of the United States’ global leadership.
With so much at stake, the persistence of our advocacy continues to build bipartisan support for vital malaria programs. Together, we sent a resounding message to Congress that the fight against malaria is a priority in their communities across the country. Thank you for helping to strengthen congressional support in the fight to Beat Malaria!
