NAPWA
congressional AIDS advocacy and training event to be held
May 2-5 in D.C.

The National Association of People With AIDS is holding its annual AIDSWatch congressional advocacy and training event May 2-5 in Washington, D.C. NAPWA holds the event each year to help train AIDS advocates to lobby members of Congress to boost funding for national HIV prevention and service programs. "Congress must hear from people living with HIV and their allies about the importance of robust federal funding and support for domestic and global AIDS programs," say NAPWA officials. The four-day event includes a full-day training session, two days of meeting with congressional leaders, and a public demonstration. The event will be held at the Radisson Barcelo Hotel, 2121 P St. N.W. To register for the event call (866) 243-7282 or go online to www.napwa.org.
