We envision a world in which AIDS is no longer a death sentence, in which economics and geography do not determine access to life-saving drugs, and where every woman, man, and child has the knowledge, means, and rights to protect her- or himself from infection. To achieve this world, we must remake our institutions to reflect a shared commitment to our common humanity. We must confront the underlying causes of the AIDS plague--poverty, inequalities of race, gender, and class, sexual stigmas, and a politics that allows us to deny our responsibilities to and for each other. Our global economy must be matched by a global conscience. We have the tools to fight AIDS: prevention, treatment, support for orphans and families. To succeed, we must summon the will to use these tools. We will not accept excuses for inaction; we will not accept false barriers that divide us; we will not accept the myth that any of us are powerless. We pledge ourselves to the struggle against AIDS--a struggle that becomes a fight against apathy, against indifference, against injustice. By forming a global youth movement, we will rise to the challenge of fighting AIDS. We will halt this pandemic.

AIDS is the crisis of our generation and we will be defined by our response to it. Years from now, we will have to answer our own children: did we stand by as millions died or did we take action? We will make our children proud

yeah the SGAC chapters have an role to educate youths on the pandemic killer disease AIDs and also helps the underpriveledge.This ahs also acomplish much as the world of HIV AIDs is conecrned such as Student Global AIDS Campaign members and chapters have played a critical role in some of the most important developments in the fight against global HIV and AIDS over the last 3 years. Among other things, SGAC has played a key role in:
Winning increased access to healthcare for Coca-Cola’s workers in Africa;
Helping pass several key pieces of HIV & AIDS and orphans legislation;
Getting all nine Democratic candidates in the 2004 Presidential election to announce comprehensive HIV & AIDS platforms and talk about AIDS on the campaign trail, after President Bush would not;
Pressuring Congressman Jim Nussle (R-IA), the chair of the House Budget Committee, to increase the budget proposal for the International Affairs Account by almost $3 billion (which he said he did because of HIV and AIDS activists).
