Anjali Appadurai, UN Climate Change Conference

"A number of protests are being held today at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban to protest the failure of world leaders to agree to immediately agree to a deal of binding emissions cuts. Anjali Appadurai, a student at the College of the Atlantic in Maine, addressed the conference on behalf of youth delegates. Just after her speech, she led a mic-check from the stage - a move inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests. "It always seems impossible until it's done. So, distinguished delegates and governments around the world, governments of the developed world: Deep cuts now. Get it done," Appadurai says.

Getting to Zero

"The beginning of the end of AIDS starts with you"


"The beginning of the end of AIDS starts with you". This is the slogan of a campaign by ONE and (RED), two organizations fighting against AIDS. Some of their objectives are by 2015, to be able to provide treatment to the millions more who need it, drastically reduce new infections, and virtually end the transmission of HIV from mothers to their babies. 
2011 marks the 30th anniversary of AIDS. Today - December 1st - is World AIDS Day. 
The (2015)QUILT is a symbol of their struggle. It's a piece of digital artwork from people all over the world who are fighting for the first AIDS free generation in 30 years.
