SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Brendan Fay: 'AIDS in 2024: Raising Awareness\, Rising in Action'
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, in-person and online! \nMany speak about the “AIDS crisis” like its over – something from the past. \nYet\, as a human family we continue to live in a time of AIDS. As of August 2024\, an estimated 1.2 million people in the United States are living with HIV. Globally\, 39.9 million people were living with HIV at the end of 2023. \nThe UN Theme for World AIDS Day 2024 links with the cause of human rights. “The world can end AIDS – if everyone’s rights are protected.” \nFrom the global picture of AIDS in 2024 we then share local stories including the personal story of Robert Rygor (1953-1994) of ACT UP NY and his life of courageous activism and forceful love that transform hearts and history. \nRSVP to Join Online\nRSVP here to Join on Zoom \nAbout Brendan Fay\nBrendan Fay comes from Drogheda in Ireland.
