AIDS Protesters Demand G-20 Fund Drugs, Treatment
PITTSBURGH (AP) AIDS activists have marched around the convention center in Pittsburgh where the Group of 20 summit will convene tomorrow, demanding that the world's most powerful leaders provide funding for drugs and treatment.
The march stopped periodically so HIV-positive participants like the Rev. Jeffrey Jordan, of ACT UP Philadelphia, could share their stories.
The Metropolitan Community Church pastor said he has buried 13 members of his congregation in 15 years and regularly presides over funerals for other AIDS victims.
Jordan said AIDS medications are a God-given tool to sustain life, and the drugs should be provided to anyone who needs them.
