California AIDS Lobby Day, April 20 in Sacramento

The Eighth Annual California AIDS Lobby Day will take place Monday April 20th from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Sacramento. Persons are asked to register by April 14 so that the organizers can set up appointments with their legislators. Some travel and hotel arrangements are being made for persons who need them; from Los Angeles, for example, a bus and hotel package is available for about $38.

Local briefings on California AIDS issues and on advocacy skills will be held on various dates in Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, San Diego, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles.

AIDS Lobby Day is sponsored by the AIDS Budget Coalition: AIDS Project Los Angeles, AIDS Services Foundation Orange County, ARIS in San Jose, Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, LIFE Lobby, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, Project Inform, San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and San Mateo County AIDS Programs.
