Hey Erin, thanks so much for the “heads up” on this forum tomorrow. Let’s just hope that a framework for future ACTION to fight AIDS & extreme poverty in our world will emerge out of this meeting.
We have seen a lot of talking about the issues that ONE advocates for by politicians in DC over the last few years.
But what we haven’t always seen is a FIRM & CONSISTENT COMMITMENT by these same politicians to FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE FUNDING that will accomplish these goals (i.e., the current battle for PEPFAR’s re-authorization)
I’ll be watching what emerges from this forum plus anticipating our guest blogger. (smile)
