‘Hey, I have that shirt!’
“I wore it yesterday when I was running,” said Senator Scott Brown while visiting a North Texas bookstore. Long-time ONE member Latha Nehru took a few moments out of her day to stop by and say hello the senator during his visit to Dallas. In a brief conversation, Latha asked Senator Brown to rally his fellow senators to restore funding for the international affairs budget. Latha emphasized the incredible return our US investments have made in fight against HIV/AIDS. He replied that he will do what he could. It means a lot to us when members of Congress take the time to listen and strongly consider and support our issues.
Right now, you can take the opportunity to be heard by your congressperson. Sign the petition and make a quick call to contact your ONE regional director. Thank you Senator Brown and Latha for discussing the issues around extreme poverty, and successful investments that have save millions of lives and stabilize communities each day.
