NEW YORK CITY BIRD-DOG TRAINING THIS MONDAY JUNE 11

JOIN US FOR A CANDIDATE BIRD-DOG TRAINING IN NEW YORK CITY MONDAY JUNE 11 AT 4PM

AIDS activists have been chasing down Hillary and Obama and Giuliani and McCain and all the rest of them around the country to demand action to end AIDS in the U.S. and all around the world.

This Monday you can meet a few of these activists -- they’ve got great stories to tell and great tips to share about how to stand face-to-face with a candidate for President and talk to them about HIV/AIDS and what we need to end the epidemic.

This Monday we’ve scheduled a candidate bird-dog training that will teach you can join this effort here in New York, chasing down candidates at public events and private fundraisers and demanding action to end AIDS.

Bird-dogging is the name given to the activist tactic of attending public appearances in order to win new policies from politicians. This direct interaction between activists and decision makers rarely happens in Washington – it happens at campaign events all over the country. It’s easy to have a big impact through the simple act of bringing a few people to an event, working together to raise your hands and asking questions that provoke an answer from the target politician.
