World AIDS Day: December 1: See Events Translucence Chamber Concert Benefit
A World AIDS Day Call to Action.
On this World AIDS Day, we are on the precipice of a huge opportunity to make history. President-elect Obama has committed to implement a National AIDS Strategy in his first year in office and demonstrate the leadership necessary to end the epidemic in America. NAS calls for measurable outcomes, coordination of federal programs and accountability.
While we are making progress, barriers remain. State, federal and foundation coffers shrink. Our clients, who live on less than $10,000 a year, struggle to meet their most basic needs. Together, we can overcome these obstacles and help those most in need. We urge you to answer our call to action. Please:
Register your support to end the epidemic in America at nationalaidsstrategy.org.
Get tested: One in five people with HIV don't know they're infected. Find a testing location.
Donate goods to Boomerangs; we offer free furniture pick-up. See shopboomerangs.com.
Volunteer to assist those in need at AIDS Action or another local non-profit.
Make a year-end, tax-deductible donation to AIDS Action today.
Participate in a World AIDS Day event near you. World AIDS Day Events in Massachusetts. Or see a list of restaurants donating a portion of proceeds to AIDS Action throughout December.
