A couple weeks ago we called our Senators in support of Gavi.  That bill has passed the Senate International Relations committee and is scheduled for a vote on the floor of the Senate!

Now it's time to call the President to get him to make a pledge.
Your voice will make a difference!
Pass this along so others can make a difference too.
Thank you!!

TAKE ACTION!
As we celebrate this festive time of year, many of us are thinking about our youngest family members and friends. We are buying presents, decorating the house, and feeling grateful for the gift of children in our lives.
 
This year, we have an incredible opportunity to help save the lives of 6 million children under the age of five in the developing world by ensuring they can access vaccines against preventable diseases like pneumonia and measles.
 
Every year 6.3 million children in the developing world die before they reach their 5th birthday. Gavi is a partnership dedicated to protecting children against deadly vaccine-preventable diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea. Gavi has already vaccinated nearly half a billion children worldwide, but many are still being left behind. Please take a minute this week to make a call to the White House, urging them to protect children around the world from preventable disease by investing in Gavi.
 
Be part of this week's call-in effort for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
 
Can you call the White House urging them to make a bold pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in January 2015?
