Since we went to press the date of the Washington trip has been moved up to September 8 and 9. The reason is that the Senate funding bill could be "marked up" as early as September 10; dates after might be too late to have the most impact.
The AIDS Action Council is coordinating the overall lobbying days; other organizations, including ACT UP chapters, American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR), Human Rights Campaign Fund, Mothers' Voices, National Organizations Responding to AIDS, National Association of State and Territorial AIDS Directors, Project Inform, San Francisco AIDS Foundation, Treatment Action Group (TAG), United for AIDS Action, and 18th Street Services are participating.
Persons interested especially in the AIDS research focus of this effort should contact Anne Donnelly or John Bouffard at Project Inform, 415/558-8669.
The AIDS care focus is being coordinated by the Sheridan Group, a professional lobbying organization. They can be reached at 202/462-7288.
Those who cannot go to Washington can also help, and should contact either Project Inform, or the AIDS Action Council (202/986-1300). It is especially important for those who have first-hand knowledge of AIDS research, or other AIDS programs, to educate key senators and their aides on these issues.
