Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will look to the future as she honors the past with a tree planting at the AIDS Memorial Grove tomorrow. Rep. Pelosi will be joined by scores of friends and supporters as they participate in the monthly weeding, planting, and cleaning of the Grove. "This is a work day,"says Pelosi, "and a time to re-dedicate ourselves to the memories of those who have died and those who live with HIV and serve as an inspiration to us all."
The tree-planting will be the culmination of the day's activities and will be dedicated to the 10 year fight the Congresswoman and her supporters have waged in the war against AIDS and the search for a cure. "We now realize that there is a future for people with HIV. Many of our friends did not survive to see this day, but now each and every day can be a new beginning for people living with AIDS," Pelosi said.
Congresswoman Pelosi is a leader in the fight for funding for AIDS research and access to drugs that have proven to work against the disease. The AIDS Memorial Grove is the nation's first living memorial to the thousands of Americans who died of AIDS and the thousands living with HIV. Legislation authored by Rep. Pelosi and passed by the House last year designated the Grove as a national memorial. Where: AIDS Memorial Grove Golden Gate Park When: Saturday, June 21, 1997 Time: 9 am - 2 pm
