Petition: Help bring the voices of people who benefit from the Global Fund to World Leaders

Now more than ever, we have the opportunity to make a remarkable difference against HIV, TB and Malaria. We have the opportunity to really change the course of these epidemics in our lifetime.

In less than one month world leaders are coming together in New York and the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon will be hosting a special dinner. We are wanting to hand over to him, a petition (copy enclosed below) that calls on World Leaders to act responsibly by ensuring that, amongst other things, the Global Fund achieves its replenishment targets (2014 - 2016) of US$20 billion.

The Global Fund Advocates Network (GFAN) and the "Here I am campaign" (an initiative of GFAN and the Communities Delegation) are requesting you to sign the petition.

The Here I Am campaign is a global call on world leaders to save millions of lives by supporting a fully funded Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. Here I Am brings the voices of people that are directly affected by AIDS, TB and malaria into dialogue about decisions that affect their lives and the lives of millions of others in their countries.

Time is running out! Please circulate amongst your contacts including via facebook and twitter and please sign yourself! We are aiming to collect 5000 signatures before 20 September 2012. We can turn the tide against these epidemics.
