Join the Global Campaign - From people to leaders! Act on AMR NOW!

From people to leaders: Act on AMR NOW! Online launch of Call for Global Action!

Join the global campaign to amplify the voices of communities and civil society in the global response to antimicrobial resistance. Sign the 'From People to Leaders: Act on AMR NOW!' call for global action!


Building on the Latin American initiative “Empowered Communities to Tackle Antimicrobial Resistance ”, ReAct and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) have facilitated the collection of key asks from communities and civil society worldwide as part of a Call for Global Action.

To commemorate the launch of the global campaign in April, an online event was held. The online event was filled with interesting panel discussions, the viewing of a short film, a Q&A with the audience and much more!

The event was a great opportunity to learn more about the global campaign and add your signature to endorse it. The signatures collected will be submitted along with the asks to Member States attending the UN General Assembly High-Level Meeting on AMR 2024.
