Nine caravans travel different routes across the country raising awareness on issues like access to care, research based on science – not ideology, increased funding for prevention tools and an end to stigma. Caravans will begin in California, Washington State, Texas, Minnesota, Maine, Virginia and Florida
As those of you who have been following C2EA, we believe that the AIDS epidemic is not just a public health issue, it’s a social justice issue. To that end we are very happy to announce our partnership with Mr. James Meredith, Civil Rights Activists, for this project. “This is really the same issue that Dr. King was dealing with when he got killed: poor people” says Meredith. “ If the Campaign to End AIDS is successful, it will change everything by focusing on the conditions and the circumstances of the poor. This will be a thousand times bigger than the right to an education.”
In 1966, James Meredith embarked alone on the March Against Fear, a 220 mile walk from Memphis Tennessee to Jackson Mississippi. The March was intended to encourage African-Americans to register to vote and make an impact on elections. Now 42 years later, Meredith lives in Jackson, MS and is lending his support to another Mississippi March, The Stand Against AIDS, organized by C2EA. In addition to eight caravans the caravans traveling across the country, in the ninth caravan AIDS Activists in Mississippi will reprise Meredith’s walk going from Jackson to Oxford, MS. Once arriving in Oxford, C2EA will host a town hall meeting on HIV/AIDS, have a Rally to End AIDS and visually depict the importance of addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic both domestically and globally.
One of C2EA’s main priorities is to demand that the United States develop a national strategy to end AIDS. The US requires that countries receiving PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) dollars have a strategy with measurable outcomes to address the epidemic in their country, yet the US does not have such a plan.
To get connected with a Stand Against AIDS caravan, or host an event along a caravan routes with Stand Against AIDS contact: Larry Bryant, 1-877-ENDAIDS, or bryant2@housingworks.org
To sponsor an AIDS activist on one of the caravans, make checks payable to Campaign to End AIDS and mail to Campaign to End AIDS c/o Housing Works, 727 15th St., NW, 2nd Flr, Washington DC 20005
