Meet Morgan Bassichis 🎤

We're kicking off our 2026 Research in Action Awards honoree announcements with someone who defies easy categorization.
Through performance, writing, and a rare gift for blending humor with political and personal history, Morgan Bassichis invites us to think differently about activism, memory, and what we owe one another.

Their acclaimed show “Can I Be Frank?” revisits the life of q***r comedian Frank Maya, who died from AIDS-related complications in 1995. Morgan resurrects his legacy while wrestling with the q***r search for fame, father figures, and laughter in times of crisis.

Because the fight for health equity has never belonged to scientists alone. Artists, storytellers, and performers help us remember why this work matters.

Join us in celebrating Morgan and other changemakers at the Research in Action Awards on Thursday, October 15, from 6-9 p.m. at the Angel Orensanz Foundation, 172 Norfolk St., in the Lower East Side.

TAG invites you to a free movie screening of “How to Survive a Plague” followed by an activist panel on Wed. Sept. 9, from 5-8 p.m. at the Housing Works bookstore located at 126 Crosby St. in Lower Manhattan.

David France's documentary “How to Survive a Plague” tells the story of how AIDS activists taught themselves science, forced their way into the research process, and changed the course of an epidemic when their government abandoned them in every sense of the word. TAG was born out of that fight. Thirty years later, the lessons learned remain prominent and the fight for a more just world continues.

After the screening, activists working in climate justice, housing security, public health, and beyond will share their strategies and lived experiences driving change.

This is a free event, but donations are highly encouraged. Learn more and secure tickets: https://www.treatmentactiongroup.org/htsap_movingscreening/

Drug-resistance can complicate TB treatment, especially when the resistance is to moxifloxacin and/or bedaquiline – two powerful drugs that form the backbone of regimens used to treat drug-resistant TB.

On August 19 & 20, TAG is hosting a two-part webinar for community and civil society advocates on the evidence-based WHO recommendations, and best practices for treating pre-extensively and extensively drug-resistant TB (pre-XDR/XDR-TB).

Part I — Aug 19, 9:00 a.m. eastern, WHO Guidelines for Pre-XDR-TB: A Shift Away from One-Size-Fits-All, WHO's newest recommendations classify pre-XDR-TB treatment by disease severity for the first time.

Part II — Aug 20, 9:00 a.m. eastern, Addressing XDR-TB: Treatment, Compassionate Use, and Palliative Care – this session covers regimen construction, pre-approval access to investigational drugs, and palliative care for when treatment may not work.

Dr. Anthony Fauci should be celebrated as a public health hero, not harassed and persecuted by anti-science bigots.

Fauci spent 50+ years leading the fight against HIV/AIDS, SARS, Ebola, MERS, Zika, and COVID-19. Last week, a GOP-controlled Senate committee voted 8-5 to hold him in contempt of Congress and send the matter straight to a corrupted DOJ, skipping the full Senate vote that's supposed to happen first. He pled the Fifth rather than play along with what was obviously a bad-faith show trial. Sen. Rand Paul admitted the point was to try to manufacture a perjury charge.

The Republican caucus used the hearing to keep pushing debunked COVID conspiracy theories, and HHS Secretary RFK Jr., an AIDS denialist, went on TV afterward and lied about the U.S. death toll.

This is disinformation running wild, and a dedicated public servant paying the price for it. TAG is standing with 155 physicians, scientists, and public health advocates demanding Congress rescind this referral.

On August 19 & 20, TAG is hosting a two-part webinar covering WHO guidelines updates for pre-extensively drug-resistant TB and approaches to addressing additional bedaquiline-resistance (extensively drug-resistant TB).

Part I will focus on the WHO guidelines, taking a close look at new WHO recommendations for treating people with pre-XDR-TB now stratified by severity of disease, and reviewing treatment options available to people that are ineligible for pretomanid-containing regimens.

Part II will focus on how to address extensively drug-resistant TB, including treatment guidelines, compassionate use, and palliative care.

TAG is closely flowing the fifth negotiating session of the UN Framework Convention International Tax Cooperation — at TAG we believe that ending TB, HIV, or HCV requires addressing upstream drivers of disease burden. Things like weak tax laws that let wealthy corporations or individuals make money in one country and pay lower taxes on it in another. A practice that strains public budgets and threatens investments in health systems and other public goods.

Our 2025 annual report is live!

The year 2025 was a pivotal year for public health. A year that shook the foundations of the public health institutions designed to protect us. As activists, we have been on the frontlines seeing firsthand the brutal cuts to healthcare access that harmed national health agencies and science.

As these unique challenges arose, TAG stood ready to fill the gaps left by budget cuts and workforce reductions. Together with our partners all across the globe, we catalyzed open collective action with frontline communities. We encourage you to read about some of our biggest wins from 2025 and learn more about how our work accelerates research and effective community engagement.
