The Campaign to End AIDS (C2EA) is taking leadership on the HIV/AIDS Rally & Vigil on October 10, 2009 from 5:30 to 8:30 on the Ellipse in Washington DC. The goals of the Rally and Vigil are to send a message to our national elected officials that addressing the AIDS epidemic must be a major priority if we are to achieve national equality for all, and to draw newly galvanized LGBT activists into the AIDS movement.

We will be having a broad spectrum of speakers and performers, predominantly positive, at the rally and vigil and are glad to be part of the National Equality March. To date we have several partners that include SisterLove, Health GAP, CHAMP, The Southern AIDS Coalition, The National AIDS Housing Coalition, Bailey House, Cable Positive, The Afiya Center, DC Fights Back, Westminster Presbyterian Church, AIDS Action in Mississippi, the Positive Advocacy Caucus, Inner Light Ministries - DC and Housing Works who is serving as the fiscal sponsor. Others have expressed interest and we are looking forward to hearing from them soon! We are inviting everyone to be part of this Rally and Vigil. There are many ways you can participate, from being a sponsor or partner to participating on the policy conference calls to attending and spreading the word. If you and your group or organization would like to get involved please contact me at (202-408-0305) or campell@housingworks.org. Looking forward to hearing from you!
