WAVY & Fox 43 Viewer Greg Fordham sent me this info about a rally he and some other local folks participated in, in Oxford Mississippi in September.

The Campaign to End AIDS (C2EA) is a diverse, exciting new coalition of people living with HIV/AIDS, their advocates and their loved ones. Together, we’re demanding that our leaders exert the political will to stop the epidemic, in the U.S. and abroad, once and for all. In small towns and big cities across America, we’re mobilizing to ensure the best treatment and care for all HIV-positive people…and HIV prevention methods backed by good science.

“Here are some pictures from when we went to Mississippi the caravan started here on Sept. 20 and made stops in Richmond VA. High Point NC. Columbia SC. Atlanta GA. Birmingham AL. Oxford MS.

In Oxford we had rallies and a town hall meeting.
