   Ways to Advocate


BREAK THE SILENCE…

       OVERCOME DENIAL…

                 END THE STIGMA…
United Methodist Commitment

           The 2004 United Methodist
          General Conference created
          the United Methodist Global
                  AIDS Fund.

           The goal is to raise $1 for
            every United Methodist
         representing the commitment
         of all of us to work towards an
                 AIDS-free world.
       Annual Conference Goal



Every annual conference is asked
to set a goal of $1.00 per member.

Annual conferences can choose to
keep 25% of funds raised to be
used in that conference for AIDS
work in local or global projects.
