"THE ONE CAMPAIGN"
“Dear Friend:
We have great news! For 48 hours, you jammed phone lines on Capitol Hill to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. And on Tuesday, because of the calls of over 23,000 Americans like you, the U.S. Senate voted $100 million more for life-saving efforts needed to fight three killer diseases.
Because of your help, we’ve moved one step closer to ensuring the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria will continue life-saving efforts that deliver prevention, care and treatment to millions around the world. With passage of the Santorum-Durbin amendment, the Senate agreed that the U.S. should contribute a total of $600 million to the Global Fund next year. In the coming weeks, we’ll need the House of Representatives to also agree.
We’ve made some real progress together. Thank you for helping!
What does the Global Fund do with our crucial support? In Nigeria, tens of millions of doses of a new, highly effective malaria medication will be distributed. Can you believe that only 10,000 doses of this medication were available across all of Africa two years ago? In Mozambique, more than 55,000 people will receive life-saving AIDS treatment. These efforts help keep people alive long enough to grow up healthy, raise children and crops and build businesses and communities.
And back here at home, we can know that we’re doing more to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. America’s contributions challenge other countries to do their share, as U.S. law requires that each dollar from the U.S. must be matched by two dollars from other nations. Even more, the Global Fund uses a system of checks and balances to fight corruption and ensure that funding really reaches those most in need-so that these efforts can have the power to transform the hopes of a generation.
Thank you for your help. Together as ONE, we are changing the world.
Thanks,
The ONE Team”
