<p>Two Urgent Opportunities for Global Health and Education :)</p>

<p>Two Congressional leaders on global poverty are spearheading urgent efforts to expand our response to education and disease. They need your help. <b>1. Tell the Senate to fund the fight against TB!</b>Tuberculosis, a curable disease, still kills 1.7 people each year, and is the leading killer of people with HIV/AIDS. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has initiated a sign-on letter requesting $650 million for global TB programs. $650 million would put the U.S. on track to achieving the Global Plan to Stop TB and meeting funding targets in the Lantos-Hyde Act passed in 2008 ($4 billion over five years). Please call your Senators and ask them to sign the Brown letter to support $650 million for TB funding in fiscal year 2010 (FY10). <b>The deadline for signatures is THIS MONDAY, JULY 6. </b> <b>Ask your senators to join the fight against TB. <em>Click <a href="http://capwiz.com/results/issues/alert/?alertid=13665416&type=CU">here</a>.</em></b></p>

<p> <b>2. </b><b>Tell the House to support a Global Fund for Education!</b>Each year, the leaders of the G-8 countries gather to discuss pressing global issues, including global poverty. President Obama has the opportunity to help push global leaders to support the creation of a Global Fund for Education - an idea he first proposed during his presidential campaign when he promised $2 billion for a global education fund. A statement by the G8 supporting a Global Fund for Education would be a critical signal of support and serve as a catalyst to help move this initiative forward. Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) has initiated a sign-on letter to President Obama calling on him to lead on the creation of a Global Fund for Education at upcoming G8 meeting in Italy. <b>The deadline for signatures is THIS TUESDAY, JULY 7.</b> <b>Ask your representative to support a Global Fund for Education! <em>Click <a href="http://capwiz.com/results/issues/alert/?alertid=13665446&PROCESS=Read+More">here</a>.</em></b></p>
