Some Good News On World AIDS Day

There is some good news on this World AIDS day. Twitter turned red to raise awearness. South Africa is undergoing a sea change in their attitude towards the virus (no thanks to the laissez-faire approach of former President Thabo Mbeki).

Alicia Keys is streaming live her World AIDS Day / Keep a Child Alive benefit concert on YouTube at 8 PM EST here. You can RSVP on her Facebook page. The BBC has assembled and digitized 3,000 posters from around the world. Best of all: the UN Program on HIV/AIDS just published new research showing the number of new HIV cases decreasing worldwide.

Keep up the fight!

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
