Join us in Lighting Global Landmarks (RED) this World AIDS Day - December 1st
December 1st is World AIDS Day and we’re illuminating the world’s most iconic landmarks (RED) to raise awareness of the goal of an AIDS Free Generation due in 2015. Last year nearly half a million babies were born with HIV. But with access to medication a pregnant mother can stop the transmission of HIV to her child. With continued funding to organizations like the Global Fund, the number of babies born with HIV could be zero by 2015 – creating the first AIDS Free Generation in 30 years.

This World AIDS Day, cities around the world will light their most distinctive landmarks (RED). From the Sydney Opera House to the Tokyo Tower, from the London Eye, to Cape Town’s Table Mountain, from Niagara Falls, to the Seattle Space Needle - the world will turn red to highlight the goal that by 2015 we can have a world where virtually no child is born with HIV.

Be sure to check and see if landmarks in your city are turning red. We’re asking people to Meetup there to watch and discuss how we can help create the first AIDS Free Generation. If you don’t find an existing Meetup to join, you can always create your own Meetup and help put your city on the map.

We hope you’ll be with us as we watch as the world goes (RED) on December 1st and help us make the possibility of an AIDS Free Generation a reality.

Here’s a full list of the landmarks that will light red on December 1st. A special thanks to Sister Cities International for their help and support during this campaign.
