[EVENT] The Morning After at Asia Catalyst
[:en]The Morning After— Thanks to everyone who came out for Asia Catalyst’s speed-dating on Monday night. Thirty courageous men and women put on their game faces and met fellow 25 to 35-year-old progressives. Their friends joined in the after-party, and together we raised $680 for our campaign for kids with AIDS in China.
To all of you who decried the 35-year-old age limit as unfair, and those who demanded men-dating-men and women-dating-women events, we hear you, and promise we’ll have more speed-dating for progressives soon. (Just remember – if things go well, we’ll be expecting a nice big piece of wedding/commitment ceremony cake at Asia Catalyst.)
Big Pharma and AIDS in China
Speaking of speed-dating, that’s what one blogger was reminded of when listening in on U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk’s Senate confirmation hearing – which lasted just 48 minutes. Apparently, the Senate wants him to get right down to work. Let’s hope that his to-do list includes overhauling the administration’s past policy on compulsory licensing of AIDS drugs by developing countries.
[COMMENTARY] Street Lawyering in Jakarta
[:en]Last week I went to Jakarta with the harm reduction program director for Open Society Institute and met with a half dozen grassroots groups of injection drug users (IDU). In Indonesia, where AIDS is ravaging the country due to the rapidly-escalating use of drugs, young people have responded by starting small nonprofit groups to reach out to drug users on the street. They hand out clean needles, give advice on AIDS prevention, help people get medical care when they need it, and advocate with the local police. And they’re doing some innovative things on the human rights front, too.
China Readings for Obama
[:en]A little on the lighter side this week: The most excellent blog China Beat asked a group of scholars, journalists and the like for the four or five books they thought President Obama should read to inform himself on China.
