One of the highlights of the year is the annual Celebrate Life, Celebrate Art auction to benefit Persad Center. Formerly known as Art for AIDS, this event is a masterful reminder of the continued urgency of this and other issues addressed by Persad.
You can still get your tickets. Click here for Persad's website.
I was reminded of the necessity of supporting this cause yesterday when I completed my application for life insurance through my employer (not the work provided insurance, but our own individual polices we can purchase at group rates. They asked three questions — did I work 20 hours or more per week, had I been disabled in the past 6 months and had I ever been diagnosed with AIDS (which the agent referred to as the AIDS question). Huh.
There is work to be done folks. I get that insurance is about probabilities, but persons with AIDS deserve the opportunity to provide for their loved ones, too.
