Devastating Article In Washington Post


There is a devastating article in Sunday’s Washington Post about how the DC AIDS dollars are being squandered. Please go to http://tinyurl.com/yklhmof

This story, coupled with what is happening in California really asks the question about the future of AIDS services, the future of minority CBOs, and the future of our movement.

Any thoughts about what this all means? I would appreciate your input.
