Join Visual AIDS at Rise Up 2017: ALL - DAY COMMUNITY ACTIVIST FAIR
Diplomat Ballroom at One UN New York Hotel, 2nd Fl. Enter at 44th St. btw 1st & 2nd Ave.
The event is FREE, no registration required.
Saturday January 21st from 10AM - 5:30 PM
In partnership with the March, this all-day activist fair brings together non-profits and grassroots organizations with the community to build relationships and connect motivated people with activist organizations. This event also gives anyone who can't join the march for any reason an option to participate and engage with its spirit and energy.
Visual AIDS, in partnership with I want a president…(a collective reading, DC), will distribute Zoe Leonard's "I want a president" text along with the updated 2016 text. You can also create your own version to share with others. Stop by our booth to pick up our PlaySmarttrading cards highlighting women and HIV awareness, and our newest tote bag by artist/activist Jessica Whitbread.
While at the fair, you can also make your own signs for the march, meet other grassroots organizations, and enjoy carnival-style games to win prizes.
