[mgj-discuss] DC: World AIDS Day: White House Action

[Matthew M Kavanagh]

Please join people living with AIDS, activists, and students to help make
sure that World AIDS Day is political--it's about funding, it's about
global trade rules, and it's about centuries of imperialism from South
Africa to Southeast Washington, DC!
Peace,
_M

---call to action---please forward---
On World AIDS DAY
On December 1st

At the White House

At 2:45 pm in Lafayette Park


Tell President Bush & Congress:
***************************************************************
No More Empty Promises on AIDS...
***************************************************************
-We Won’t reach Universal Access to treatment by 2010 if we don’t train
and pay enough doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers in Africa (we need
$8billion from the US).

-We Won’t cut the out-of-control HIV infections in Washington, DC if
congress keeps blocking DC from funding needle exchange programs using our
own money.

-We Won’t get treatment to the 10 million people in need by 2010 if trade
rules are set by drug companies instead of the people.

-We Won’t meet any of our targets unless we fully fund the Global Fund to
Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria and really Drop the Debt for all impoverished
countries.

-We Must develop a plan, fund the programs, and let DC and the World get
down to the work of ENDING AIDS.

Join us for a rally featuring speakers from around the world and right
here in Washington, DC and an optional die-in at the white house gates. We
can keep people alive—we need to hold our leaders accountable.

Please join us! Help us organize!  Get involved in the planning!
