Take Action: Ask Senators Reid and McConnell to Stand Up for PEPFAR

The window to reauthorize PEPFAR (the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) for five more years and $50 billion is closing. At this critical moment, a handful of senators are blocking all action on the bill.

We need champions to pass this bill and keep America on the path to saving millions of lives in the developing world. Luckily, we have you and two very important senators.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are the two most powerful members of the U.S. Senate, and we know they are strong supporters of American leadership against these global killers.

Please add your name to the petition and send a message that now is the time for Senators Reid and McConnell to stand up for the world’s most vulnerable people and get this lifesaving legislation to the floor of the U.S. Senate for a vote.
