On June 3 over 100 organizations, including the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, National Minority AIDS Council, National Association of People with AIDS, Project Inform, Gay Men's Health Crisis, and many ACT UP chapters will mark the 20th year of the AIDS crisis with a march on the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association, Congress, and the White House.
