Ask President Obama for “A Global Gift”
It’s not just the holiday season, it’s budget season — when President Obama makes critical decisions impacting the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
That’s why we’re asking him to give “A Global Gift” and include $1.75 billion for the Global Fund in his Fiscal Year 2011 budget.
Click here or on the card below to send President Obama a holiday card reminding him how important it is for the US to invest in the global fund and the lifesaving work it does in the struggle against these deadly, but treatable diseases.
When you send President Obama a holiday card you’ll be reminding him that since 2003 the Global Fund has:
* Helped get lifesaving antiretroviral drugs to more than 2.5 million people and palliative care and prevention services for millions more;
* Placed 6 million people on tuberculosis treatment; and
* Provided 104 million bed nets to prevent malaria.
