Today, Dec. 1st, is World AIDS Day. 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of this world wide 'Stop AIDS' campaign. If you are interested in finding out about campaign events in the United States, the US listings start on the bottom of page 6 of the calendar.
Here is a writeup from WAC about who they are:
"The WAC was established to support and promote a global campaign on HIV and AIDS. The campaign strengthens and connects together many of the AIDS-related advocacy and campaigns happening in our countries and regions – each are supported by a multitude of groups who are demanding that their governments and other key stakeholders deliver on previous promises and commitments on HIV and AIDS. The civil society-led WAC campaign targets politicians and policy-makers countries most affected by HIV as well as donor governments, international agencies such as those of the United Nations, as well as civil society. It supports people and organisations to work together more closely, unite and soundly advocate at the national and international levels, so the campaign can deepen the partnership for a stronger response to AIDS."
