I was the co-director of a non-profit foundation which provided peer-oriented education, advocacy, and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS in order to empower them to take a more active role in their treatment and general well being, and to learn to thrive despite living with HIV/AIDS. I have personal knowledge of the immeasurable importance of programs such as Ryan White Part D which serves a particularly vulnerable, and often under-served, population of persons living with HIV/AIDS.

#SaveRyanWhitePartD Flash Blog: “No HIV+ Women & Children Left Behind,” is a virtual event that will occur on 4/10/2014 to protest the proposed elimination of Ryan White Part D (healthcare/services for HIV+ women, youth, & families). Individuals from around the globe will participate in a peaceful Flash Blog protest, submitting over one hundred blog posts: poems, pictures, videos, and stories in support of the communities that stand to lose the most if this vital funding is cut.
