Mother’s Day Present
May 10, 2010
I know… according to my good friend Ben Harrell, facebook activism is entirely too passé for cool people to partake in, but this shit matters, alright?

What is happening in short, is the governments of the United States and Uganda deciding that having AIDS makes you less human; they have capped the aid going to the clinics and hospitals. I do apologize for the sentimental way I feel about this, but there but for the grace of god goes me. There is nothing more important than that woman’s life. And again, this is truth, we should not tire of doing the right thing. The things that really matter on this planet depend on it.

For those of you who will read the article, you will I’m sure notice the new emphasis on Mother and Child health through meeting basic needs. I am so thankful the worlds leaders and moving on this issue which is more about the global family that is humanity than any other I know of, but I would also say that there is more than enough money to do both. $280 million is chump change. Don’t go there with me, you won’t like it.

For sooth, You can write your senators if you want, but mostly, I want you to KNOW. Why? Because when you know, you are responsible. So rather than writing a letter as sternly worded as this note; go to Africa and work with AIDS victims, reorganize your lifestyle so you can give half your income to the poor, study AIDS and make a cure your life goal. We aren’t in a world of armchair activism any longer.
Thanks to Marissa Archie for showing me this article.
