Spotlight: We Make the Change

Hello Beauties!

We Make the Change is an campaign here in Florida that is working, like Project Nefertiti and countless other organizations, to educate on the effects of HIV/AIDS. I wanted to tell you all a little about it, and encourage you to check out their site and perhaps, lend your support.

Now, as I already stated We Make the Change is an campaign working to educate us. The Florida Department of Health launched this statewide campaign in 1999 with the hope that would increase awareness to all, but especially to Florida's minority communities.

In addition to this campaign, there is a seperate group called Sisters Organizing to Survive, which is a movement started almost two years ago out of Orlando, FL. They encourage others to get tested, and hold conferences encouraging other minority women to take a pledge to get tested, and educate other sistas in their lives. Their goal is to test 100,000 women by the end of 2010. I'm certainly rooting for them. :)
