Thursday, September 2nd:


Are you an immigrant who has seen people denied access to medicine in your home country?
Do you think the US could do more to address health issues of people in poor countries?

Then join Philadelphia Global AIDS Watchdogs (GAWD), in collaboration with AFRICOM, for a

TOWN HALL AND DINNER

Come share your stories of accessing health care in your country. Learn about what the US has done to address global health crises, such as AIDS, TB, and malaria, and how the US could do more to provide treatment and medical care to millions around the world.

Thursday, September 2nd, 5:30-7:30pm
Studio 34, 4522 Baltimore Ave

Dinner will be at 5:30, and the town hall will begin promptly at 6, with a presentation on the current state of US global health policies. This will be followed by an opportunity for participants to share their own stories of accessing healthcare in developing countries.

RSVPs encouraged, but not required. Dinner will be served, and tokens will be provided for those who need them. Recent immigrants are especially encouraged to attend.
