World AIDS Day
Today is World AIDS Day.
If you are so moved, please visit ONE.org and add your name to the ONE Big Noise letter to Bush.
From ONE.org site:
Make ONE Big Noise
On December 13th, the world will sit down in Hong Kong for trade talks that have the power to transform millions of lives through fairer trade. On the table will be proposals to change the rules so trade becomes part of the solution to poverty, not the cause.
At the G8 Summit, we called on world leaders to do more to fight extreme poverty and global AIDS. They heard us, and this meeting is the next step in helping the world’s poorest people. Our leaders need to know that we’re still watching and want real progress.
Add your name to the ONE Big Noise letter today and ask President Bush to take this opportunity to fight extreme poverty by making trade fair.
A Bono quote: "The AIDS emergency is dwarfing any of the famines that are raising their head again... When the history of our time is written, there'll probably be three things that come out of it - the internet, this war against terror, and the fact that an entire continent burst into flames while we all stood around with watering cans. You cannot ignore the AIDS emergency - if we do it will be at our peril, economically, in terms of stability and this problem will come home to visit us."
