We’re mere hours away from World AIDS Day. Make sure to check out the many events planned by ONE members around the country as well as other leaders in the fight and then sign up to attend or host your own.

Of note, DATA (the org we’re merging with) released a bunch of cool stuff of late, including: analysis of the new AIDS numbers, and an amazing new report called “Africa Works,” which documents effective development assistance success stories.

Finally, President Bush requested an additional $30 billion for the global fight against AIDS over the next five years from Congress today. AP article here and AP photo of a giant red AIDS ribbon on the White House below.
