World AIDS Day

Today is World AIDS Day, a day for raising awareness about the devastating pandemic that is HIV/AIDS. Want to do something helpful? From the Human Rights Campaign:

...In recognition of [World AIDS Day], the Human Rights Campaign is issuing our second annual report card to America's leaders, grading their response to the AIDS crisis.
...
Take a moment to read America's report card, and then please urge Congress to reauthorize the Ryan White CARE Act in 2006. The CARE Act provides funding to states for critical services to people living with HIV/AIDS, and its authorization expired on September 30, 2005.

Then, do something locally. Look for local HIV/AIDS service organizations here.
