Campaign
History
The Student Stop AIDS Campaign launched in September 2003
on campuses around the UK. Our first national action was a jumble
sale outside DFID, to demand that the UK government pay its fair
share to the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria, the three biggest
killers in poor countries. Next came our ‘Act Now’ campaign;
a mass lobbying offensive to demand that decision-makers wake up
to the scale of the problem and step up their response. Students
met with MPs, Ministers, the Chancellor and even the PM. Others
resorted to driving round the UK in a ‘phoney pharmacy’
to get people fired up about AIDS (link to Action Aid site) and
turning up at Downing Street in their pants (link to Make AIDS History).
All this hard work put AIDS firmly on the government’s agenda,
leading to the Labour Manifesto pledge to work towards universal
access to AIDS treatment by 2010.
Since the Labour Manifesto promise, we’ve shifted our strategy
from catalyst for change to watchdog, with our “World is Watching”
campaign.

The World is Watching
Over 120 Stop AIDS Campaign members braved the rain and stood eyeball
to eyeball in Trafalgar Square on June 15th, 2005 to say “The
World is Watching” the UK Government keep their election promise
of “Aids treatment for all by 2010”.

More demonstrations took place in Edinburgh around the G8 summit
(link to blogging from the G8 page), reminding Tony Blair to push
for a G8 pledge on AIDS treatment for all by 2010. With this commitment
secured, we will continue to watch the G8 to ensure they make this
happen.
