It is no longer possible to think of AIDS as a disease that affects someone else. It threatens everyone, regardless of race, sex or sexual orientation. / Hence a coalition of men and women of many communities has come together tonight to give voice to our concern and to bear witness to our commitment in the fight against this cruel disease. The purpose of this Walk if threefold: / We wish to memorialize the men, women and children who have died of AIDS / We testify to our support and concern for those now afflicted with AIDS in all the communities of our cities and towns / We appeal for increased funding from Philadelphia and Pennsylvania to help in the struggle to save lives / Tuesday, September 25, 1986 / Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"; the second page of the brochure gives statistics on AIDS funding ; the third page of the brochure includes a schedule for the Walk and Rally; the fourth page of the brochure contains acknowledgments and a form for contributing a donation
