What is the current U.S. pledge? Did we meet it?

What percentage increase will be requested?

Can we get (like now, soon, to memorize) a clear chart of the history of GFATBM funding requests and pledges, and actual funding… from US and worldwide?

Since we don't have anything for MoCs to sign right now about the Global Fund, what Call to Action should we use in letters to the editor and our lobby meetings to be as specific as possible?

It will be great to have a cheat sheet so we can be clear and accurate speaking to our Reps!

Do African countries pledge to the Global Fund?

John, When Congresswoman Barbara Lee comes on webinar, Oakland Group would like to ask if she can talk to Senator Harris to be the 50th signer on TB?

Yes!!! Please ask her to reach out to Senator Harris; her office has said it doesn’t reflect her committee assignments…..

Yah! =))

We can speak about the interconnection between AIDS, children, maternal health!

Thanks Macy for bringing that up!

To finish the point on co-financing: implementing countries increased their co-funding by 40% over the previous granting period, which amounts to $4.5 billion

And we'll get info out on that letter as soon as it's out!
