The AIDS Policy Project is a new group of experienced U.S.
advocates, strategists, and people with AIDS on both the East
and West Coasts. We are spearheading an effort to keep AIDS
in the public eye and a high funding priority for our legislators
through strategic organizing, direct action, and media work.
Our members have, on average, ten years of experience each
as successful AIDS, gay rights, and poverty activists and organizers.
- To secure funding to treat people with AIDS now—in
2006. More than six million people died in 2003
and 2004 without treatment.
- To
boost prospects and leverage cash for the Global Fund to
Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria –more money, more technical
assistance for developing nations, and to push the Fund to
be more ambitious for itself regarding its budgetary and
programmatic goals. The Global Fund is the best mechanism
to provide AIDS treatment and care internationally for at
least the next two years, if it is properly funded and administered.
- To demand visible leadership on AIDS from our allies in
Congress.
- To do fresh, high-profile press work that reframes
global AIDS funding issues for the American public.
- To provide
a forum where activists can share, brainstorm, and borrow
ideas for their work. The AIDS movement has generated
brilliant strategies and tactics; we intend to preserve
them and encourage new ones.
- To help new groups build skills
and an understanding of grassroots political strategy.
- We are recruiting. For more information, contact techdassie@yahoo.com
