	Join the thousands worldwide in support of the March on Washington 2012 "Make a career of humanity, commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country and a finer world to live in." - Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington D.C., 1959 South Africa Lesbian & Gay Community Health Center "We support the D.C. Declaration and ask for you to sign on today." In 2011, we made many strides in the fight against HIV but much work remains to be done. We are relentless in our fight against this devastating disease and motivated by the overwhelming support for the Keep the Promise March on Washington from across the globe. On July 22, 2012 on the opening day of the XIV International AIDS Conference, we will join together in solidarity to March on Washington. Thank you for showing your support by signing on to the DC Declaration and we want to alert you to some positive changes. Following the United States' renewed commitment this past World AIDS Day to fighting AIDS both domestically and globally, we have adjusted the DC Declaration accordingly. However, there is still much more to be done by the United States as well by all world leaders and governments. Universal access to treatment through cost-effective measures and fair-share contributions to the global fight against AIDS is critical if we are going to conquer AIDS. Treatment as prevention must be leveraged in concert with a scale-up of rapid HIV testing and access to care to stop the spread of HIV. As we commit to the goals of the DC Declaration, we are laying the groundwork for a future without HIV/AIDS. http://www.keepthepromise2012.org/?page_id=1670 [image: declaration join now button version 1] SIGN ON AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR AS AN OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION -- Many Thanks Yours' in Prevention Science Gabriel, ADEYEMO Regional Focal Point - West Africa Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AID (GYCA) +234-80-6798-7317 \| gabriel (at) gyca.org www.gyca.org \| www.tigweb.org GYCA is a youth-led global network of over 6,000 young leaders and adult allies working on youth and HIV/AIDS in 173 countries world-wide.
