Media Advisory: ONE and (RED) Host Event on “the Beginning of the End of AIDS”
To mark World AIDS Day 2011, ONE and (RED) are hosting a high-level panel discussion on reaching "the beginning of the end of AIDS". Major progress has been made in the last 10 years in the fight against global AIDS thanks in large part to US leadership, and now new scientific discoveries hold great promise for reducing infection rates. If the world comes together over the next few years, we could finally see the beginning of the end of the AIDS pandemic, but only if a broad coalition - government and activists, business and faith leaders - comes together to build on the progress already made.

ONE and (RED) are calling on President Obama to focus his Administration on defeating HIV and stepping up U.S. global leadership in this arena.

- 15 x 15: ensure 15 million HIV-positive people are on treatment by 2015
- A drastic reduction in the rate of new HIV infections by 2015.If the President commits us all to these bold and world-changing goals he will have helped pave the way to the beginning of the end of AIDS.

ONE Statement Regarding FY 2011 and FY 2012 Budgets
As Congress faces the tough job of restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington, we strongly urge Members to not turn their backs on the world's most vulnerable. We, along with our 2 million members, will vigorously make the case on their behalf. There is living proof across the world that less than 1% of the total federal budget has helped poor farmers learn to grow more food more efficiently, provided a lifeline to millions with HIV - including pregnant women whose babies can now be born HIV-free -- put millions of children under malaria-fighting bed nets by night and into schools by day, and strengthened America's friendships with millions of people, thus strengthening our own national security. Congress should reorder its priorities and continue America's lifesaving legacy. MORE
