In This Issue
Last month Kiesha Johnson won a round-trip flight to Australia as one of the early-bird winners of the Drive Out AIDS, Win a New Car raffle, whose final drawing for a 2014 Kia Forte donated by CarPros Kia of Carson, CA, will be held at the Heroes in the Struggle Gala on May 20th in Los Angeles. In this issue Kiesha tells us about her good fortune.
Research published in the American Journal of Public Health confirms what many leaders have already known—that the epidemic is especially concentrated in low-income urban neighborhoods of color—and recommends that prevention and treatment efforts follow the epidemic. A leadership retreat for young gay Black men took place in Atlanta earlier this month. Our friends from AIDS.gov tell us about it. We report on the Brown Bag Lunch intended to dispel misinformation and help PLWHA to sign up for the Affordable Care Act by the March 31st deadline. And now that the open enrollment period has closed, our friends at Colorlines report on Obamacare's known unknowns.
Finally, we invite you to support the fight to end AIDS by purchasing tickets for the Drive Out AIDS final raffle for the 2014 Kia Forte or another Carnival Cruise for two, which will take place at the Gala. Get your tickets by calling 213-353-3610, ext. 107, or sending an email to
Yours in the struggle,
