Make It Happen - help push for the pool !

Many people living with HIV in developing countries cannot get the medicines they need.
The UNITAID patent pool for HIV medicines could change this.
Join MSF in pushing drug companies to put their patents in the pool.
Send the e-mail below to CEOs of the companies that hold the HIV patents. You will be helping millions of people get affordable HIV medicines they need.

Join PHR and our partners in commemorating World AIDS Day and Human Rights Day by telling the Senate: Human Rights = Healthy Women!
Between World AIDS Day (December 1) and International Human Rights Day (December 10), we are launching the 10,000 in 10 Campaign, mobilizing 10,000 Americans to advocate for US ratification of the Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in 2010.
Let your senator know that it's time for the United States to ratify CEDAW and get serious about women's rights worldwide.

Senators: Send the hate crimes bill to the President NOW
Oct 21, 2009
Focus: Human Rights
Action Request: Write E-Mail
Location: United States

Last Thursday, 49-year-old Jack Price, an openly gay man, was attacked right outside of his home by two individuals yelling anti-gay slurs. Price suffered a broken jaw, fractured ribs, collapsed lungs, a lacerated spleen, and had to be placed in a medically induced coma.

This brutal hate crime, caught on a surveillance video, comes just as the Senate prepares to cast the final vote on the inclusive hate crimes bill. We can't afford to wait a single day more for this law.

Tell your Senators to watch the video before they cast their vote on the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
