2011 March Global Conf. Call: Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, Malaria

We had a special guest speaker on the March Global Conference call, Michel Kazatchkine, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria.

Dr. Kazatchkine gave a great run down on the Global Fund's accomplishments, how they are working to reduce the risk of corruption, and how continued investment could bring amazing accomplishments including eliminating Mother to Child Transmission of HIV/AIDS and malaria deaths. He also profoundly thanked RESULTS activists for their great work in getting the US to make a first-time, 3-year pledge of $4 billion.

John Fawcett gave us a great update on 2011 funding issues and called us into action on reaching out to our senators and the media on the proposed House budget cuts to foreign aid.

Ken Patterson talked about calling our members of Congress into leadership and activist Beth Wilson of Olalla, WA and Dee Diallo from Seattle shared about actions they've taken to create leadership. Other announcements:

--New 2011 Group Reporting Form. Please report!
--International Conference registration is open. Let's party down in DC.
--New interactive grassroots forum. Check it out!
--World TB Day resources

4. Lisa Marchal taught the March Laser Talk on speaking to editorial writers.
