The Interaction of HIV, Drug Use, and the Criminal Justice System (R01) Grant
African-Americans and other racial/ethnic minorities disproportionately high rate of incarceration has affected the social environment of many minorities communities in ways that have increased HIV risks to other community members, particularly women. Because detection of HIV infection usually occurs later among ethnic/racial minority groups, who also bear a greater burden of disease, criminal justice settings (including community correctional programs) have the potential to address health disparities by providing individual and community-based prevention programming, including HIV testing. Funding for $1.5 million to be awarded.

For Latino Delegates and Leaders, "Ya Basta!"
In the verge of presidential elections, the Republican administration, apparently oblivious to its political consequences, continues to conduct expanding raids and deportations that are separating hard-working families and terrorizing whole communities. Latino elected officials, community leaders, and members of the faith and business community joined efforts to stop these actions.

Hundreds of Workers Held in Immigration Raid
Great concern in the Latino community is caused by the repeated raids that ICE, the immigration enforcement branch, is conducting in different states. It seems that President Bush's government not only wants to leave a legacy of a senseless war, a devastated economy and a declining international role of the United States but also is willing to attack the core values of this country by separating families, generating internal terror and hurting means of employment of thousands of hard working immigrants. Read on this chilling article about late procedures in Laurel, Miss. where hundreds of families were left without their bread winners.
