PLEASE REAUTHORIZE THE RYAN WHITE CARE ACT


Those of you who know me, know I work for the Boston Living Center. It is an HIV/AIDS orgnization that supports those infected and affected with HIV/AIDS. We have recently been made aware of a very serious issue. The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act is Federal legislation that addresses the unmet health needs of persons living with HIV disease (PLWH) by funding primary health care and support services. The CARE Act was named after Ryan White, an Indiana teenager whose courageous struggle with HIV/AIDS and against AIDS-related discrimination helped educate the nation.

The Act is in danger of not being reauthorized. PLEASE, go to this link and send a message to your local law maker. Then send it to friends. We need this ACT to keep HIV/AIDS service organizations going.

PLEASE HELP!
