Looking for pregnant Mumsnetters to help deliver a petition on the eradication of HIV in newborns

12 replies

RowanMumsnet · 10/02/2011 13:34

Following on from our Q+A with Melinda Gates and Dr Sipho Moyo from the ONE Campaign, ONE has asked us whether any pregnant Mumsnetters could volunteer to help deliver ONE's 'HIV-free' petition to Andrew Mitchell, the International Development Secretary. You can view and sign the petition, which has over 200,000 signatures, here.

The petition will be delivered to Mr Mitchell in Westminster at 5pm on Thursday February 17, so you'd need to be available for that. You'd also need to be comfortable with being filmed, as ONE will be recording the occasion for posterity. ONE will be providing campaign t-shirts for you to wear, and if any of you feel like volunteering to have your bump painted in the manner of this video that would be grand (but not compulsory AT ALL).

It would also be great if your bump is pretty visible. And finally, we'd like the moon on a stick Wink.

Please sign up here if you'd like to take part.

Thanks,

MNHQ xx

Thank you Finding! I can get your email address from here, don't worry.

At the moment, the plan is to take you all out for non-caffeinated beverages and cake at a coffee shop near DFID (Victoria), to brief you quickly on what's involved and let you change into your t-shirts. This would be at about 4.15, leaving for DFID at about 4.45ish. But I'll email you all this afternoon with more details.

Morning all.

PipPipPip, Muser, GeekLove and FindingStuff... you should all have got emails from me yesterday afternoon with the details; could you reply giving your RL names, as DFID need these for security clearance? If you haven't got an email, let me know on here and I'll try again.

Cloggs and Manda - thanks for your support, and 'yikes' about the crutches!

Wigeon and youngblowfish, thanks so much. I will email you.

Sorry to harrass, but FindingStuff... and youngblowfish - it would be great if you could email me back today with your RL names for DFID security clearance. Thanks.
