Stop by and chat a while! Got a question? I'd love to hear from you! (And you have to ask, because I'm not so good at telling you
)


This morning, 1.2 million of the world’s poorest people took a life-saving pill because of U.S. support. That's a group of people, roughly the population of New Hampshire, receiving AIDS treatment because of initiatives that ONE members like you helped make possible with letters and phone calls to Congress. A quick call today will help ensure these initiatives receive the necessary funding to stay on track to meet their goals.
In honor of World AIDS Day, the Global Fund and
PEPFAR announced this morning that together they’ve more than doubled the number of people receiving AIDS treatment since the last World AIDS Day. This incredible progress is part of larger global effort to provide treatment to 9.8 million people by 2010.
But for that plan to work, they need your voice. Make a quick call (1-800-786-2663) and ask your Representatives in Congress to fully fund the President's $2.8 billon request for PEPFAR and the Senate’s $700 million life-saving funding for the Global Fund.
I encourage you to read the article and take a look at the amazing before and after pictures in the latest issue of Time Magazine that follow the transformational impact these pills had on 8 year old Bokang Rakabaele in Lesotho, Africa. These pills not only treat disease, but enable people to contribute to society and lead normal lives. Thanks to these treatments people with AIDS can live for decades today.
The Global Fund and PEPFAR represent one of the most direct relationships between dollars spent and lives saved in the US Federal budget. Today, you and thousands of other ONE members in homes, churches, universities, and offices across the country can make sure your elected leaders know that these initiatives are a priority.
