C2EA
If you haven’t heard of C2EA:
WE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BEAT AIDS. SO HOW CAN WE LET IT BEAT US?
You may have heard: AIDS isn't over. Not only that-it's poised for a major comeback. While the epidemic's devastation in the developing world has embroiled activists in a desperate fight for the funds and political will to turn around the global crisis, the epidemic has quietly made inroads into vulnerable communities right here at home. A carefree new generation of young gay men, women who never thought that their boyfriends or husbands could be infected, and African Americans, many of who have so many other challenges they're not even diagnosed until they're sick. Yet while the epidemic has been establishing deadly new roots, our leaders have repeatedly failed to fully fund the programs we need to keep people with HIV/AIDS alive and well and the science-based prevention methods to keep those most at risk from contracting the virus.
THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN: THE CAMPAIGN TO END AIDS
We're a diverse, new coalition of people living with HIVAIDS (PLWHAs) and the advocates, organizations and loved ones who stand behind them. After years of watching our friends and family die, we're ecstatic that we finally have the tools to stop the epidemic-treatments that works, however imperfect, and prevention methods like abstinence and condoms, as well as needle-exchange programs, which keep injection-drug users HIV-free. But we're infuriated that some of our most powerful leaders, including our president, have withheld these tools from those who need them most. That's why we're organizing on the local, state and national level to demand that those in power:
Fully fund high-quality treatment and support services for all people living with HIV everywhere in the world.
Ramp up HIV prevention at home and abroad guided by the best science.
Increase research to find a cure, more effective treatments and better prevention tools.
Fight AIDS stigma and protect the civil rights of all people with HIV and AIDS everywhere.
HOW WILL WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN?
In lots of fun, exciting ways. We're building strong local, state and regional networks of people with HIVAIDS and the groups that serve them. We're mobilizing the veterans of legendary activist groups like ACT UP, which played a major role in securing PLWHAs their first wave of treatment and legislation, to train a feisty new generation of fighters. And from October 8-12, 2005, we're bringing it all home-to the nation's capital, that is, where caravans from around the nation will converge for five lively days of meetings, prayer groups and lawmaker visits. It all culminates with a massive march that will show the world we're united, strong and ready to make a mighty ruckus until our leaders do the right thing to halt the epidemic.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF IT ALL?
In so many ways! You can do everything from getting involved in your area to joining a national C2EA workgroup to joining a caravan traveling to D.C.! Roam around the site for more information and to see what's going down in your state. But real participation starts with signing up for our weekly update and, if you choose, telling us a bit about yourself.
