In observance of World AIDS Day on December 1, President Barack Obama and former presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton are joining leading AIDS advocates for a panel discussion hosted by ONE and (RED) on reaching “the beginning of the end of AIDS.”
Obama will join the event’s hosts at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (EST) to participate in the discussion. Clinton and Bush will appear via satellite. Bush is in Tanzania with President Jakaya Kikwete.
Other guests include Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California, and Bono, whose ONE and (RED) campaigns have sought to raise awareness of global poverty and AIDS. Alicia Keys will also participate on the panel. The singer is the co-founder of Keep A Child Alive, a non-profit organization that helps families with AIDS in Africa by providing medicine and supplies.
Through a partnership with YouTube, the event will be streamed live on ONE’s official YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/theonecampaign. The panelists will respond to questions from a moderator, as well as to a selection of questions submitted by people on YouTube.
Organizers say they “hope to build on progress already made in the fight against the devastating virus.”
