The latest action alert from ONE:
TAKE ACTION: Ask Congress to save lives and fund the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty
Right now, the U.S. Congress is making critical decisions that will impact millions of lives. They need to hear YOUR VOICE asking America to do more to win the fight against extreme poverty and global AIDS.
Over the next few days, Congress will be debating our budget for the next year and how to best spend each and every penny so that we can help the most people. The amazing thing is that some of the best ideas to beat global AIDS and poverty cost just that - pennies. For less than a dollar, a vaccine can save a life. For $5, a bed net can stop a child in Africa from dying every 30 seconds from something as small as a mosquito bite. We can turn back the tide on AIDS with something as simple as a pill that costs less than a dollar a day, treatment that helps people live and continue to care for their families and communities. And we can lift even more families out of poverty only $60 a year keeps a child in school or helps an entrepreneur start a small business.
Please email Congress today to say that you support the FY06 Senate Appropriations funding levels to fight extreme poverty, including $3.6 billion to beat global AIDS.
It’s more important than ever that this doesn't come at a cost to other key poverty-fighting efforts.
