Communication is essential in our working together AS ONE for Africa’s Future.

If you would like a good resource place for info on the status of PEPFAR, then please visit ONE partner organization RESULTS website. (www.results.org)

RESULTS has been an organization that I have been going to for years for current info on bills in Congress relating to issues of extreme poverty.

Their main action alert for June is PEPFAR’s re-authorization.

Now - CONTACT YOUR SENATORS, Scott….and good luck!!

Unfortunately, we haven’t had any new co-sponsors since mid-May. A lot of that is the result of uncertainty about the fate of the bill in the senate. That’s why we’re asking the Senate leadership, Reid and McConnell, to get this bill onto the floor for a vote, which we’re confident we can win. That said, more co-sponsors would be great, as would other forms of showing support, like the Lugar-Sununu letter campaign we ran earlier this month in targeted states. If your senators’ names aren’t on that list, then they haven’t co-sponsored PEPFAR reauthorization yet, so feel free to ask them to do so. Hopefully, we’ll have a vote soon and the chance to ask out senators for their support on actually passing this important legislation.

Thanks,
Aaron
