See you next year!
Well, guys — this is it. I can’t believe that 2010 is actually coming to an end. It’s been an amazing year and we’ve accomplished so much together. Remember when we sent Nelson Mandela that birthday card? When we tweeted the White House and asked for President Obama to support the Global Fund? Or how about that time when we joined forces to erase Haiti’s debt? We couldn’t have done any of those things without your voices and support.
I know that next year is going to be just as jam-packed with anti-poverty actions as this year — but for now, we bid you adieu. Our staff will be on holiday break from December 24 to January 3, so things may seem a little light on the blog and our Facebook and Twitter pages.
I’ll leave you with a photo that our lovely photographer Morgana Wingard took of our DC staff during a recent holiday party. You might even recognize some of those faces from ONE events around the country.
Thanks for being such awesome members, blog readers, Facebook-likers and Twitter-tweeters. I’m excited to get back to you guys next year!

Saw one of your commercials and commend your efforts for social marketing for perinatal HIV infection. My only concern is the statistic used that 1000 babies born a day infected with HIV. In the U.S. we have made tremendous strides in reducing perinatal transmissions. Your commercial doesn’t depict that. I understand raising awareness in for global AIDS but lets also raise awareness for accomplishments in domestic HIV perinatal transmission.

you”r cause may be good however your comercial is discusting!!!!!!!!you have no rightr to subject the public to such gross and vial visuals!!!!! what is wrong with you people? giant swollen
bellies are unessesary and should not be allowed….also with the population destroying our pwanet why would you use these visuals advocating in any way that pregnacy is a good thiing in any way? aids is a bad thing but pregnacy and the whole big belly (especially exposed) IS FAR WORSE!!!!

the only thing more unpleasant than the thought of a child being born with hiv is the incessant exposure to your tasteless commercials
