In conjunction with the book launch, The COSHAR Foundation is launching the "Get It Done!" campaign. "Get It Done!" will work to develop a national cohesive coalition that will strategize on the most effective response to HIV/AIDS in women, particularly women of color, in the U.S. and territories. The campaign focus is on collaboration to "Get It Done;" "It" refers to Awareness, Testing, and Treatment for HIV/AIDS. While there are numerous organizations that are working in the area of HIV/AIDS and making a significant difference, the statistics remain concerning and require more effort to decrease the incidence, morbidity and mortality of the disease. The COSHAR Foundation is committed to this endeavor by fostering collaboration, increased visibility as well as forging new partnerships. The campaign will bring together various organizations including faith based organizations, healthcare organizations, the pharmaceutical industry, foundations and both profit and non-profit organizations together for a collective cause. The first taskforce meeting for the campaign is slated for February 2006.
