Give AIDS Drugs the
Vote They Deserve
In 2009, Parliament passed a bill (C393) that would make affordable AIDS drugs available throughout the developing world. But the sponsor of the bill resigned and the rules of Parliament require a revote.
We’ve already seen that the majority of Parliament supports this bill.
Now we need to urge conservative members to agree to a sponsor, so that the bill gets the democratic vote it deserves.

Thanks for making a difference!Lauren

A new sponsor needs to be elected unanimously by Parliament before a vote can happen. This shouldn’t be hard, but the conservatives are doing everything they can to make it difficult to elect a new sponsor.
Bill-C393 has the potential to better the lives of people around the world who are affected by AIDS.
