RVA Remembers December 1, 2011

On December 1, 2011, something truly breathtaking in its simplicity and power is going to happen in Richmond, Virginia. At precisely 12 o’clock, 400 red umbrellas will pop open on an island in the James River to symbolize a recommitment to education and prevention and hope. At that exact moment Richmond will lead the Commonwealth and the nation in saying, “30 years is simply too long.” We will remind our neighbors near and far that the fight is not yet won and that complacency and indifference are taking precious lives. At precisely 12:00 o’clock, we will unite, reinvigorated, in the battle against HIV/AIDS.

Standing in a sea of red umbrellas, we will remember—the people living with HIV/AIDS today…the friends we lost yesterday…and the ones who will be lost tomorrow.

Fan Free Clinic (FFC) is leading this effort in order to shine a spotlight on the AIDS epidemic that continues in Richmond and throughout the Commonwealth.
