I hope your spring semester is getting off to a great start! As a reminder, we still have meetings every week on Wednesdays at 8 PM in the Dodge Room of Earl Hall. If you’re looking for a new way to get involved this semester, we have a lot of events in the works like call-ins to legislators, lobbying visits, writing op-eds, and actions. We would love to have your input at meetings!
See below for info about a great discussion happening on Wednesday evening — join Lambda Pi Chi and Omega Psi Phi to learn more about the AIDS epidemic and its current, very disproportionate effects on communities. A very important discussion to have, as the AIDS epidemic is not over within the US, either. I hope you’ll attend!
Stay tuned for CUSGAC events coming up soon!
AIDS
DID YOU KNOW…
1. It is estimated that Americans between the ages of 13 to 24 are contracting HIV at a rate of 2 people every hour.
2. While young people are only 16% of the population, people under the age of 25 represent an estimated 50% of all new HIV infections. The majority of these cases are contracted sexually.
3. Black and Hispanic women account for only 29% of the New York female population, but together they represent 86% of New York women living with HIV/AIDS.
SCARY, HUH? WANNA TALK ABOUT IT?
JOIN the Beta Chapter of LATINAS PROMOVIENDO COMUNIDAD/LAMBDA PI CHI SORORITY INC. and the Omicron Chapter of OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY INC. to discuss what our communities are facing everyday!
