“My boss gave me my money and told me to sign my name. After I signed the receipt, he immediately threw the pen into the trashcan. And that was how I was fired.” We heard this from a Chinese man living with HIV/AIDS, a former drug user, who was fired from his job when his boss found out his status. Around China, people like these are mobilizing to get their voices heard. Some hope to come to Washington D.C. this July for the International AIDS Conference. We need
your support to get them there.
The International AIDS Conference will bring 40,000 people to Washington, including government leaders, UN officials, donors, and pharmaceutical companies. Thousands will march in D.C. to demand access to treatment and demand political action to change policy. Our Chinese colleagues will make new contacts, meet donors, and lobby officials as well as learn from others and find support in the international community.
Any size donation will help to get us there:
- $50 Will help pay for one activist’s bus fare from New York to D.C.
- $100 pays for an air mattress
- $500 will help pay for registration for a Chinese activist
- $1,500 will help pay for airfare from Beijing to NY or D.C.
- $4,000 pays for house rental for ten people for ten days
