From: UfmccHq@aol.com Date: Thu, 15 Apr 1999 20:48:00 EDT Subject: A&U Magazine Endorses Millennium March on Washington 2000 From The News Service of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches A & U Magazine Endorses Millennium March Serving the HIV & AIDS Community Statement by the Rev. Troy D. Perry: A&U Magazine, one of the nation's premier magazines serving the HIV and AIDS community, has given its endorsement to the Millennium March on Washington scheduled for April 30, 2000. I'm honored to welcome A&U to the distinguished list of endorsers of the Millennium March. A&U has been instrumental in elevating understanding and compassion for the HIV community and is a valuable educational tool. Founded in 1991, the mission of A&U is "to collect, archive, publish and distribute the growing body of literature, art, and activism from the AIDS pandemic" and the magazine notes that "living with AIDS is about more than pills and therapies. It's about our collective freedom, tears, loves, struggles and occasional victories." Subscribers to this respected periodical include a cross section of AIDS educators and activists, business and civic leaders, artists and intellectuals, physicians and pharmacists, as well as PWAs and their families and care givers. This will be the fourth national (USA) March on Washington in the history of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered justice movement. MMOW will take place on April 30, 2000 on the Mall in Washington, DC. Organizers have called for the March on Washington to be as broad and diverse as are all of our GLBT communities.
