From Jeremy Saunders, co-director of VOCAL New York:

Hello Ending the Epidemic Community, We are charging forward in our fight to end AIDS in NY by 2020 with extreme momentum! We must not let up the pressure on our Governor and state legislators to fund the blueprint to end AIDS by 2020. This Monday at noon, we are convening in the War Room, outside the Governor's office, at the Capitol building in Albany to continue our demand for $70 million to be added to the state budget so we can house thousands of New Yorkers living with HIV throughout the state and end AIDS. AIDS Housing SAVES Lives!

To communicate the urgent need for this funding, we will honor the 100,000+ people who we have lost to the virus in NY with a reading of the names ceremony as we fight for the lives of the over 100,000 people currently living with the virus in our state. We want you to join us in this rally for life!

How you can help:

• Join us at noon (arrive at 11:45AM) in the War Room
• Amplify our struggle over twitter: We will send along sample tweets this week
• Schedule a press conference in your region of NY to amplify the pressure on the Governor and Legislature

Attached is a media advisory and a statement that will be read at the press conference. For more information, contact Jeremy Saunders at VOCAL NY: Jer...@vocal-ny.org
