  • "AIDS Action knows the modern fight against AIDS requires a communications effort rivaling that of the best political campaigns. Just like the smart candidate stays in touch with the pulse of the people, fighting today's AIDS epidemic requires the same strategy."

    "Reaching out and listening to the diverse voices of the American people -- Republicans and Democrates, people of faith, black and white -- is how AIDS Action is helping to shape a winning messagein the war on AIDS."

    -- Tony Braswell, AID Atlanta
