Write to your Government Leaders

Pick any topic(s) you feel passionate about and write to your leaders. Perhaps you or someone you know have been personally affected by the funding cuts to programs for people living with HIV? Do you have another issue pressing on your mind you wish someone would listen to and do something about?

Now is the time to get political. Write a letter or a note and send it to all your government leaders. Here is an example letter written by AIDS service organization leaders from across the United States to address the reauthorization of the Ryan White Act in 2005.  click here

Write your own letter or you can even call your leaders. Below is the contact information for the members of congress representing Hawaii and the Big Island:
