Dear JTW-News Readers:

The UUA, along with the UU United Nations Office and the UU Global Aids
Coalition are participating in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Vigils on World
AIDS Day, Dec. 1st.  President William Sinkford will be in Washington on
that day to participate in coalition events and advocacy efforts. We
invite congregations to join this initiative and we have created a
planning guide with worship and resource materials for congregational
use and participation.

Each new HIV infection worldwide will be marked by ringing bells,
lighting candles, or beating drums every eigthth second in front of
Congressional offices; at their churches, synagogues, temples, and other
houses of worship; on their college campuses; and in public spaces. Join
in this movement by signing up to host an event in your area. Use the
planning guide to help you organize logistics, recruit speakers and
media, and take effective advocacy actions. See the UUA Washington
Office pages at http://www.uua.org/uuawo/new/ for materials, to sign up,
and for more information.

As we prepare to give thanks, let's also remember and advocate for and
with those suffering from AIDs.

In faith, Susan
