DESCRIPTION:Dear Friends, (please RSVP)  You are invited to a strategy meeting on 
 inserting Global AIDS, debt   and trade  into the California Primary 
 debate. PAUL DAVIS and JENNIFER COHN will  be in Oakland  on Tuesday, 
 February 10, 6-8 PM, Women of Color Resource Center,  1601 Telegraph, Suite 
 303, Oakland (19th St. BART). Pizza, fruit and   water/juices  will be 
 awaiting you. RSVP to John Iversen 510-841-4339.  The event is co-sponsored 
 by HealthGAP, ACT UP East Bay and  Priority Africa Network.  Davis and Cohn 
 have spent much time in Iowa and New Hampshire  raising these issues. Due 
 largely to their efforts all major Democratic  candidates have agreed to 
 spend $6 billion annually on Global AIDS.  Approximately 3 times what Bush 
 requested for 2004. We need to  keep the heat on in California.  Paul Davis 
 is a long time AIDS activist from ACT UP Philadelphia and  HealthGAP. He 
 was the smart, politically savvy driving force behind  the huge grassroots  
  initiative which forced President Bush to adopt a global AIDS plan  
 unveiled in his 2003 State of the Union address. Davis has been the  
 driving force behind most global AIDS initiatives aimed at US elected  
 officials.  Jen Cohn is a fourth year medical student at University of 
 Pennsylvania  School of Medicine and a member of the HealthGAP (Global 
 Access   Project)  Coalition. Jen also works with the American  Medical 
 Student Association (AMSA) and with the Health Professional   Student  AIDS 
 Advocacy Network (HPSAAN).  From the meeting we hope you can make a 
 commitment to attend at least   one  primary/candidate event to raise these 
 important issues. We will keep   all  who attend or call updated on all 
 candidates' appearances throughout   the  Bay Area.  \n
