AIDSWatch Federal Lobby Days, May 2-4 in D.C.

Several hundred activists from around the country will travel to Washington, D.C., to visit their Congressional representatives and staffs on AIDS issues. The event will begin on May 2 with a half-day briefing on the issues, and training on how to have effective meetings. Visits to Congress will be on May 3 and 4.

The agenda will focus on federal appropriations for research, care and treatment, housing, and prevention—and for the first time this year, some education on international AIDS issues.
