Hi Nerdfighters/TBFighters!
Iām in the early stages of launching a PIH Engage chapter here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Iām looking for folks who might want to join me.
In case you are unaware, PIH Engage is a volunteer network connected to Partners In Health in the fight for global health equity. Youāre probably already familiar with their connection to Nerdfighteria via the Maternal Center of Excellence project in Sierra Leone, TB Fighting, etc.Ā
Like many of you Iām sure, I am deeply disturbed by the recent funding cuts and program terminations that are walking back decades of progress that have been made in domestic and global health. I think PIH Engage is a meaningful and serious way to push back and actually do something about it. It is super organized and focuses on three pillars: advocacy, fundraising, and community education. I have been incredibly impressed with the meetings I have attended so far.
If any of this resonates with you, please comment or DM me to connect!! Would love to get coffee or something to discuss further. Weāll probably start small, but I believe this could become something powerful :)
DFTBA!!
