The leaders of the world’s 20 wealthiest nations, called the G20, are preparing to meet later this week in Pittsburgh, AIDS activists from around the world are preparing to demonstrate outside of the meetings to protect the loss of funding for HIV prevention and services. A lot of media coverage during the Bush Administration [...]
And its about damn time. I’ve had enough of this cultural war between science and ideology, where the conservative right use and abuse ‘War on Drugs’ rhetoric to prevent addressing the global HIV/AIDS crisis. Fortunately enough, last Friday, House Appropriations Committee Chair David Obey (D-WI), took the courageous step toward eliminating the 20-year ban on [...]
