Good Luck! Dezeray Lyn

"Tomorrow morning I begin the journey north for several weeks for an EMT intensive gaining skills to advance me on the volunteer street medic path and eventually towards dreams of joining Doctors Without Borders. I am only able to take this intensive due to comrades and friends donating and supporting me in numerous ways. That means everything. 

To all those engaged in revolutionary struggles and movements who have captured my heart and who have my blood, sweat and tears in our fight for a kind, fair and empowering world for all, you will have my skills too... Food not Bombs, Love Has No Borders, Black Lives Matter, Earth First!, International Solidarity Movement and many more. No Walls. No Borders." Dezeray Lyn

Florida GOP Tweak HIV Numbers

The figures now show a slight decline in new cases from 2011, when Scott took office, to 2014. The previous report showed the number of new infections rising. here
----------
The previous tally from 2014 represented a significant uptick as diagnoses nationwide were declining. It was enough to make Florida the national leader in new HIV cases, an embarrassing distinction for the state, Gov. Rick Scott and the health department, and more importantly, a serious public health concern.
