摘要

Almost 20 years ago, a small group of friends, outraged over seeing peers with AIDS dying in the streets of Los Angeles, banded together to "fight for the living and care for the dying." With a coffee can and a clipboard, this group, led by New York native Michael Wein-stein, raised awareness and funds door to door to press for legislation that ultimately allowed them to open the first licensed AIDS hospice in California. Since that time, the fledgling group has grown to become AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the largest AIDS organization in the U.S., operating free treatment clinics in this country as well as Africa, Central America, and Asia, serving close to 30,000 patients worldwide. The group also has continued—and expanded—its tradition of outspoken advocacy through protests, patient marches, lawsuits, and lobbying for legislation, all on behalf of those who are living with HIV/AIDS.
