AIDSWATCH '97: Advocacy in Washington, April 13-15

The annual AIDSWATCH, in which hundreds of advocates from around the country travel to Washington D.C. to meet their representatives, will take place April 13-15. "After a half-day briefing on key issues and training on effective advocacy, you will spend two days on Capitol Hill meeting with your representatives and/or their staff to tell your story about how the epidemic has impacted your life and their district. These face-to-face meetings are one of the most effective ways of influencing our elected officials' actions."

To reduce expenses, community housing will be available, as well as help in finding low air fares.
