Take Action – AIDS Funding Senatometer
Our petition to ask your senators to co-sponsor the reauthorization of PEPFAR is live. Urge your senator to sign on today.
PEPFAR, America’s response to the global emergency of AIDS, malaria and TB, has already passed in the House with bipartisan support, 308 to 116, last month.
Now we’re trying to reach 50 co-sponsors for this legislation in the Senate. That level of support will help guarantee passage of this bill to increase funding – for proven solutions to these deadly but treatable diseases – from the $15 billion spent during the last five years to $50 billion for the next five.
We’ve set an aggressive goal of 50 Senate co-sponsors and we’ll be updating the blog and our “senatometer” regularly with the new signers.
The current co-sponsors are below. If you don’t see your senators’ name, send them a petition today.
Current Co-sponsors
Joe Biden (D-DE)
Richard Lugar (R-IN)
