Meeting up in Voorhees, NJ
ONE members in New Jersey’s 1st Congressional district came together Wednesday for a screening of the documentary film “The Lazarus Effect”. Members enjoyed the film and were amazed that it only takes 40 cents a day to make such a miraculous change in the lives of people infected with HIV/AIDS.
After the film, we discussed several ways we as ONE members can get involved in our own communities including meeting with our elected officials during the August Congressional recess, additional screenings of the film, and ONE tabling events. Everyone had an enjoyable evening and it was terrific to see local folks interested in spreading the word about ONE!
