Hi all...
I'm a education volunteer at AIDS Project RI. I learned today, in a discussion after doing an education session, that the project is very worried about losing a lot of funding. Why? Mostly because Bush is in office, and his regime, who holds the funds that most of these non-profits get for their work, has basically, and quietly, demanded that only abstinence be taught or lose your funding. I pray that it doesn't get cut, but because AIDS Project is firm about teaching all methods of STD prevention, they run a great risk of not getting the money they need this coming year. I know I will support them with as much as I can this year, and with my time, but I urge everyone to get the word out to your communities to help these organizations survive. This is going to be a difficult 4 years for AIDS, let's start fighting now!
Thanks
