Africa Action's Most Wanted (2003/2004)
In 2003, the Africa’s Right to Health campaign targeted 6 key decision-makers
as Africa Action’s MOST WANTED, for being the biggest obstacles
to global HIV/AIDS funding and expanded treatment.
Responding to mounting domestic pressure, in January 2003 President Bush
promised U.S. leadership in the war on AIDS, but he asked for NO new money
for his so-called Emergency plan for AIDS relief in 2003 and only half
a billion dollars in 2004. The other 5 decision-makers enable President
Bush to break his promises. Across the country individuals and groups
are demanding an end to the President’s betrayal of Africa’s
people as they face the greatest threat to human security in the world
today.
