Citizen's Pledge

Please join us in asking the next President of the United States to create, support, and fund a comprehensive plan to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  We have to let the candidates know that HIV/AIDS is an important issue for the next election.  We have to call on the next President to make clear commitments—and then make sure he or she meets those commitments.

Please sign the following Citizen's Pledge to add your voice to the chorus of concerned individuals calling for action on HIV/AIDS:

As a citizen, I want to see the next US President present a bold plan to stop the AIDS crisis, fully funding universal access to services at home and abroad. 

In the US, we need a comprehensive plan to reduce HIV infections and increase access to care, especially in hard-hit communities of color.  Globally, the next President should provide no less than $50 billion over five years to fight AIDS, while also directing an additional 1% of the US budget to programs that work to eliminate poverty.

This will enable the US to at least double the number of people currently on AIDS treatment, support scientifically based, comprehensive prevention efforts, respond to the needs of orphans, and strengthen essential health systems.  A bold plan to fight AIDS will help the next President renew America's ties to the global community and put our humanitarian values into practice.
