CHAMP New York was up early today for AIDS Walk 2009! Although we were bright, the early morning was not- rain drizzled over Central Park as we searched for our community partner table. The balloons and the crowd were cheerful too. And we expanded our team by hundreds, who slapped on CHAMP stickers as they walked by, wearing our slogan: HIV is not just a disease- it's proof positive of injustice! If you are one of the dozens who picked up copies of the HIV Prevention Jusitce Principles, visit us at www.champnetwork.org to endorse the principles or for your organization to join the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance (HIV PJA). The HIV PJA is hosting its next call on Wednesday, May 27 with guest speakers explaining the relationship between poverty and HIV. Thanks to CHAMP supporters, our team raised more than $5,000! With help like this from people in our network, we're able to sustain our independent work to build a community-based movement that links the fight for HIV/AIDS with human rights and social and economic justice. And thanks to Victor Bernhardtz, we have some great photos!

About the HIV PJAThe HIV Prevention Justice Alliance (HIV PJA) is a network of organizations advocating for effective and just HIV prevention policies for the United States. We grew out of the successful 2007 Prevention Justice Mobilization, which united hundreds of groups across the country at the intersection of HIV/AIDS, human rights, and struggles for social, racial, gender, and economic justice. The HIV PJA is coordinated by Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP) in collaboration with AIDS Foundation of Chicago, and SisterLove.
