Remember Why We Walk and Run

Over 30,000 people in the Delaware Valley are living with HIV/AIDS. Many of our friends, family and neighbors are in desperate need of health care services and other life-saving programs, but with cutbacks in government dollars , these programs are often under-funded. Now, more than ever, your donations are needed to support organizations providing HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention education, counseling and testing and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS.

• Since 1981, over 600,000 Americans have died of AIDS.
• Every 9 1/2 minutes, someone in the U.S becomes infected with HIV.
• 1 in 5 people infected with HIV don't know it.
• According to the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, Philadelphians are being infected with HIV at a rate MORE THAN 50% higher than residents of New York City.
• The rate of infection in Philadelphia is FIVE times the national average.
• About half of the 1.2 million people living with HIV in the U.S are not receiving medical care.

"Will history record a fateful moment in our time, on our watch, when action came too late?...No war on the face of the Earth is more destructive than the AIDS pandemic. I was a soldier. But I know of no enemy in war more insidious or vicious than AIDS."
Colin Powell

October is Black Movie Month!

African Americans have a voracious appetite for entertainment and $6.3 billion in buying power, according to a recent Black Entertainment (BET) Networks report. The report stated, however, that 81% of the films seen by African Americans are not produced or directed by African Americans and do not prominently feature an African American cast or storyline or lead Black star.

While African Americans make up 12% of the overall U.S. moviegoing audience and represent a total of 195 million trips to movie theaters annually, of the 402 studio releases in 2011 only four were made by or about or feature people of African descent. They include Tyler Perry's Madea's Big Happy Family (Lionsgate), Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (20th Century Fox), Jumping The Broom and Columbiana (TriStar Pictures).

The African American population is not monolithic and moviegoers share an appetite for a variety of films, seeking content that is reflective of the diversity of Black life and not limited to one type of story. We, the undersigned, ask that Black films with diverse stories made by and about African Americans and featuring a Black cast be produced to meet the demand -- $513 million spent annually on movies - of the underserved African American moviegoing audience.
