Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 WHAT'S GOING ON Debt and AIDS in Africa Town Hall Meetings Inspired by the Artists Against AIDS Worldwide remake of Marvin Gaye's hit song What's Going On. Coming Up in Philadelphia, Denver and New York City THIS WEEK! The momentum is growing! -- Please come join us for these inspiring evenings of discussion, music and letter writing. Join the momentum being created by Artists Against AIDS Worldwide to drop the debt and fight global AIDS. Check out the website for more info at: www.aaaw.com Featuring: exclusive video of the artists talking about why they care and excellent local experts and activists on the issues and how to get involved. Program: African nations spend $13.5 billion every year repaying debts to rich foreign creditors for past loans of questionable legitimacy. These debt repayments divert money directly from the fight against the AIDS pandemic, with most countries spending more on debt repayments than health care. Join us for a panel discussion and town hall meeting to learn more about the relationship of debt and the fight against AIDS. Take action with other concerned fans and citizens.
