The AIDS Healthcare Foundation
(AHF), which sponsors the annual “Keep the Promise on HIV/AIDS” march and rally
in Washington, DC, will bring the march to Brooklyn, N.Y., in April. The AHF
Web site noted that the march unites national and local HIV/AIDS activists to
call on leaders to create "universal access to AIDS care and treatment.”
AHF and advocates have called for
affordable housing for people living with HIV/AIDS, increased HIV/AIDS
prevention and care funding, and lower HIV/AIDS drug prices by pharmaceutical
companies so that those infected can stay alive.
The upcoming Brooklyn march will
take place April 6 at Cadman Plaza Park, beginning at 12:00 noon. HIV/AIDS
advocate Reverend Al Sharpton will be taking part in the march. Musical guests
performing for the crowd before the march begins will be DJ Lina, rapper
Cassidy, Bridget Kelly, Miri Ben-Ari, and the Rude Mechanical Orchestra.
The Friends of AIDS Foundation is
dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for HIV positive individuals and
empowering people to make healthy choices to prevent the spread of the HIV
virus. To learn more about The Friends of AIDS Foundation, please visit: http://www.friendsofaids.org.
