A new ‘Day’ of activism
During her sophomore year at UW-Madison, Anna Day attended a lecture by Stephen Lewis about the H.I.V./AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Lewis, a former United Nations special envoy for H.I.V./AIDS in Africa, issued a call for global activism. Day took it to heart. Within six months she organized Project 40/40, an awareness and fundraising campaign for the Clinton H.I.V./AIDS Initiative.
“I’m waiting for a women’s movement, I’m trying to start a women’s movement,” Day says. “I want to affect women I don’t even know.”
Cool! That's a clever way of loonikg at it!
