People are already worried about TB, funding is already going there.

The only way this will work is if we trigger feelings that already exist. We cannot create new worries and feelings in the time it takes them to read a Facebook group name. We need something that will already have enough momentum to make them click the button.

I could be misunderstanding your point.
