ACTION=LIFE: Fighting AIDS Must be a Community Priority
From
Rockford to Cairo, Chicago to East St. Louis, and everywhere in between,
Illinois AIDS advocates are making a difference. Only by educating our
elected and appointed officials can we garner the support we need for
a vigorous, statewide response to HIV/AIDS. People affected by the epidemic
must continue to raise their voices, share their experiences and concerns,
and demand action. You can help!
