"Here's to
the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the
troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the
ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of
rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify
or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is
ignore them because they change things... they push the
human race forward, and while some may see them as the
crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are
crazy enough to think that they can change the world,
are the ones who do."
— Jack Kerouac |

HIV/AIDS never go without shelter, food,
prescription drugs or transportation to
medical appointments;
We demand that Mental Health and AODA
services be available to all in need of
these services;
We demand that ASOs use grant dollars to

clinic and medical case management
services);
We demand that services provided by ASOs be
made available to all people living with
HIV/AIDS and not just registered agency

in all aspects of our lives;
