PHR Action Center

Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Physicians for Human Rights.

The short explanation of this alert was:

The greatly improved and expanded version of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is stalled in the Senate's legislative process. The bill authorizes $50 billion in funding and largely focuses on evidence- and human rights-based treatment, prevention and care programs. It must be passed as quickly as possible. 

The Senate might not consider PEPFAR reauthorization at all this year.  With 15,000 new infections every day in sub-Saharan Africa, over 60% of them among women and young girls, we can't afford any delays in renewing US commitment to fighting AIDS.

Please contact your Senators today and ask them to support the swift passage of this lifesaving bill.

PHR will also convey your support to the Senate leaders, Senators Reid (D-NV) and McConnell (R-KY).

Feel free to personalize the beginning of this message in the text box, below, to let your Senators know why AIDS is an important issue for you.
