We need your help educating Congress about the Latino HIV/AIDS Crisis!
Congress needs to better understand the Latino HIV/AIDS Crisis.
Latinos/Hispanics in the U.S. represent 16% (U.S. Census Bureau) of the population but account for 20% of new HIV infections in 2009 according to the Centers for Disease Control. Support National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD) by getting your Congressional representatives to attend the D.C. Congressional Briefing – Tuesday, September 20th in Washington, DC, US Capitol Visitors Center, Room SVC202. Attached please find the invite for further information and please forward widely.
NLAAD needs your help ensuring that your Congress member and or Senator, and their staff attend the briefing. Many times it takes phone calls and e-mails from their individual constituents to motivate our elected officials to attend an important meeting like the one being held on September 20th.
