On Monday December 1st 2008, World AIDS Day marks its 20th anniversary. 1989 was a very different time for those living with HIV and AIDS; Today, the issue is learning to live with this disease and not prepare to die. Part of that is feeling the acceptance of the community in which we live. This one day event, originally designed to bring about community awareness of the disease and to celebrate those lost to it, now has the added component of showing support for those living with HIV every day. It is time to hold those in leadership to the promises of the past.
Please join us at 6:30 PM in the San Jose City Hall Rotunda and show that this community has not forgotten the ravages of AIDS.
Interfaith Gathering to follow: 8 PM at First Christian Church on 5th Street behind City Hall.
