AIDS 2012: A Protest in Photos PDF Print
Wednesday, July 25, 2012

Here are some photos from Tuesday's We Can End AIDS march.            AFC photos-Gregory Trotter

Harlan Smith, of Atlanta, Ga., and Tony Zheng, of China, make signs before the mobilization begins.

 

Activists ascend the stairs at the Walter Washington Convention Center to begin the march.

Jack Condon, a senior citizen who decries Wells Fargo's reported practices of investing in private prisons, joins his cause with the others. "We're all trying to work together," Condon said. "We need each other."

A protestor holds aloft a symbolic pill bottle stuffed with dollar bills that would be tied to the White House gate.

Julie Davids, center, director of national mobilization and advocacy for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, shares a laugh with her fellow activists while waiting to be arrested.

About Inside Story

Do you ever feel there are critical advances in HIV/AIDS prevention that aren't being properly covered in the mainstream media? Or that there are complex HIV/AIDS-related healthcare and funding issues not being clearly explained? Or that there are powerful HIV/AIDS stories here in Chicago just waiting for someone to tell them?
We feel that way, too!

At the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC), we’re committed to changing the story of HIV/AIDS. Inside Story aims to take you inside that story, to give you an intimate look at how AFC, and other Chicago and national organizations, are fighting HIV/AIDS through medical, housing and support services; cutting-edge research into prevention and treatment methods; and advocacy for stronger HIV-AIDS public policy from legislators.

If you have questions or blog ideas, please contact AFC Communications Coordinator at rsingleton@aidschicago.org.
