On

November 4th, Barak Obama was elected President with 53% of the popular and

364 electoral votes.  When Obama announced his candidacy for President

nearly two years ago, all of the odds were overwhelmingly stacked against

him.  But through his perseverance, determination and strong

organization and message he prevailed on election day with a mandate from the

voters.

Now

it is "Our Time" to prevail with a new day

for AIDS advocacy in America

and declare our mandate: Improve access to care

for all living with HIV/AIDS!  There is no better time for HIV/AIDS

advocates to assemble and discuss how best to work constructively with an

Obama Administration and the 111th Congress to implement needed reforms and

secure additional federal funding.  The first 100 days are critical for setting the tone

of Obama's first term as the 44th

President of the United States.  Collectively, we need to be prepared to hit

the ground running if the serious issues confronting people living with

HIV/AIDS in America

are going to be addressed in a meaningful way.

"Yes

We Can!"  Let's take

Obama's own slogan and translate

it into action in Washington,

DC!

So

please join the ADAP

Advocacy Association (aaa+) and Title II Community AIDS National Network (TIICANN) in Fort

Lauderdale, Florida

on December 3-5, 2008.  We're

invited all stakeholders interested in improving access to care to come to Florida and help us

formulate an action plan that will result in CHANGE!
