Show your support for Global AIDS programs
In his State of the Union address, President
Obama spoke about “realizing the promise of an AIDS-free generation.” For the
first time, we have the science and experience to stop HIV/AIDS and end the
epidemic as we know it.
The Global
Fund to fight AIDS, TB & Malaria is dedicated to fighting these three
diseases around the world. Global Fund-supported programs are estimated to save
3,600 lives per day – or over 1.3 million lives per year.
World leaders
will make life-or-death funding decisions at the Global Fund’s replenishment
conference this Fall. Tell President Obama to keep the promise of an AIDS-free
generation with a responsible pledge to the Global Fund.

Here’s a script:
In his State of the Union speech, the
president spoke about our efforts to achieve an AIDS-free generation. I
strongly support this goal. The Global Fund is the most effective international
partnership we have to fight AIDS, as well as tuberculosis and malaria.
I thank President Obama for maintaining our
current promise to the Global Fund in the Fiscal Year 2014 budget. At the Global Fund replenishment conference
this fall please continue to lead in the global fight against AIDS and pledge
our fair share.
