April Fools, Planaher!

Hello TBFighters,

As promised in our last email, we have a quick call to action for tomorrow, April 1^st. We thought it would be fun to remind our friends at Danaher that we’re still thinking about them! Therefore, we’re organizing a day-long TBFighters email-a-thon. We will be sending an email to Danaher every 15 minutes for 24 hours, and we need your help to make this happen! To participate:

1. Write a unique email to Danaher/Cepheid (it’s important that it’s unique, because they will probably get filtered out very quickly if we use a template). It can be as short as you like—even three words is great!

2. BCC us in your email at [email protected] (for the curious: Short Pants origin).

3. Find the next available time slot and sign up in this spreadsheet. Then schedule your email to send at that time. Make sure to convert the time to your timezone when you schedule your email as all of the times listed are in EDT.

4. Optional: If you want, you can share what you wrote with us in the spreadsheet or tag us (and Danaher) on social media!

There are many different Danaher/Cepheid email addresses that you can send your email to. Sign up and schedule your email for one lucky address or all of them! You can find these email addresses as well as some possible talking points and even emails written by fellow TBFighters (which we welcome contributions to) in the spreadsheet.

Please remember our guidelines for activism when writing your email. Harassment or intimidation are never okay.

Let’s remind Danaher what great technology they have developed and how much greater it would be if they would actually make it accessible for people who need it most so that we can end the injustice of TB!

DFTBA!
