“AIDS is a civil rights issue” served as the theme of the African American Clergy and Elected Officials breakfast meeting on World AIDS Day. I appreciated the opportunity to join with colleagues and faith leaders to reaffirm our support for our family, friends, and neighbors impacted by HIV/AIDS. We need to remain steadfast in our efforts – here in Brooklyn, across New York State, and globally – to keep people healthy and cease the spread of HIV/AIDS.
