World AIDS Day
Today is the day that the world pays attention to AIDS for a bit. 8500 people will succumb to the various ailments associated with AIDS, which will be followed by the same tomorrow and the day after, until we do something to stop it.
My friends at Advocates for Youth, CHANGE and other organizations already got on CNN for their For Whom the Bell Tolls event, which rings church bells for every HIV infection and AIDS death. The bells ring every 5 seconds.
Later today, hundreds of SGACers and others will meet at the White House to rally for a more comprehensive and scientifically sound approach to combating the pandemic, demanding funds for health workers, debt relief, and an end to abstinence-only sex education.
