  2. What is Activism? Activism is… a relentless lifestyle which is comprised of vigorous and intentional action or inaction, direct or indirect, which works towards the visions, mission, and goals of a better society and world. With regards to the HIV / AIDS epidemic, our goal is to end this affliction through education, prevention, and activism.

  4. “We are not Lepers or indispensable; we are brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, parents, and yes even grandparents who for one reason or another were infected with the AIDS virus. The “H” on HIV stands for Human. If we can unite to end AIDS, we will hopefully put right many other divisions that face us as a world.” - Bob Bowers
