Dear Friends,
If you don't know Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres, they are
an amazing group of people dedicated to making change and helping others.
Doctors Without Borders has launched a fairly ambitious online petition for
more R&D for neglected diseases (malaria, sleeping sickness, etc.).
They're trying to reach 1 million signatures before the end of the year.
This issue is related in many ways to USAS in the lack of social justice
that is given to producing countries.
Help! Please sign!

Please forward to your friends and any other listservs you're on who might
be interested. Thanks!
Peace,
Chris Paul

Dear Friends,
Imagine going to your doctor with a life-threatening
disease and finding out that, though a treatment
exists, it is either too expensive, no longer
produced, or it no longer works. This happens to
hundreds of thousands of people around the world every
day.
Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)
believes this can -- and must -- change. YOU CAN HELP.
The vast majority of new medicines are researched and
developed in the private pharmaceutical industry and
public research institutions in the U.S. But because
there is no profit to be made from diseases affecting
the world's poor, research and development of
treatments for diseases such as sleeping sickness and
malaria has come to a standstill.
Sign MSF's online petitions at
http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/
Let your government and the Pharmaceutical Research
and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) know that you
care about people with neglected diseases, and that
treatments for these diseases must be found.
