10 Ways You Can Help on World AIDS Day

December 1st is World AIDS Day. What can we as younger women do to help?

1. Face AIDS: Make a sign describing how you're facing AIDS. Take a picture of yourself with your sign and upload it to the Flickr Facing AIDS group. Then spread the word by sharing your work on Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace.
2. Tweet about it: Use the hashtag #WAD2010.
3. Read and comment on the CDC's AIDS blog series.
4. Familiarize yourself with the National HIV/AIDS strategy.
5. Download free posters and tools or create your own. Share these images on your sites or hang them in the spots you frequent.
6. Attend a World AIDS Day event. In Atlanta, SAVE Georgia is holding a press conference and rally to advocate for increases in funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, the AIDS Alliance For Faith & Health is holding an interfaith prayer breakfast, HIV testing and education will be available at Atlanta City Hall, Emory University is organizing Quilting on the Quad, and there will be a screening of "Sex in Epidemic" at the Georgia Institute of Technology. For more information on these Atlanta events, visit the GA Voice.
7. Organize or attend a Lights for Rights vigil to keep the light on HIV and human rights.
8. Write a letter to the editor to raise awareness.
9. Subscribe to the HIV Leadership Through Accountability e-newsletter.
10. Buy the MAC VIVA GLAM lipstick or lipglass, and MAC donates every cent to their AIDS fund.
