An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

In belated observance of World AIDS Day, here is recently rediscovered footage of ACT UP marching through Paris on Dec. 1st, 1990. Yes, thirty-five years (a lifetime) ago. "Contre le sida, une journée ça ne suffit pas." Why is this scourge still with us?

Voila ce qui arrive quand on abandonne la santé publique, qu’on laisse l’extrême-droite dicter son agenda, et qu’on refuse d’éduquer les plus jeunes sur les risques sanitaires.

On avait averti. On avait prévenu.
Et les résultats sont sans appel.

Une honte !

L'annulation du festival de BD d'Angoulême "était plombée par le boycott des auteurs et la défection des éditeurs", écrit l'AFP dans sa dépêche sur la décision de la société organisatrice 9e Art+. Ils ont bon dos, les "auteurs", et par ailleurs, ce sont les autrices qui sont montées au créneau...

Since 1988, World AIDS Day has reminded us the fight against HIV isn’t over 🎗

El looks at how activists turned their bodies into a site of protest - and used it to demand justice.
The power of T-shirts in HIV activism turned the body into a site of protest
The HIV-positive body was feared and shamed - but these shirts allowed activists to wear their anger on their bodies and change the narrative.
