SPREAD THE WORD ON MLK DAY

The Campaign to End AIDS and the National Minority AIDS Council have developed a joint action for February 7, National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. It'll be a national call-in day to demand action from Congress on key items in the FY07 federal budget to fight AIDS in Black America.

We'll have more info on the action in the weeks to come – but we wanted to get you this flier for distribution at Martin Luther King, Jr. Day events this weekend. Stay tuned for more and keep up the struggle.
