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. |
