Housing Works: Books for Aids Research
So as you all know I was in NYC last week for the Book Expo America Conference. I was so lucky to get into a tour of Scholastic (Thank you Book Blogger Con) and got to the office quite a bit early. Laura and I had quite a bit of time to kill and we happened upon this awesome book store and cafe. When asking more about the store I learned it was all donation ran books with money from sales going to aids research. So watch the video of me with the press representative and then look below for some printed information.

Housing Works is the largest community-based AIDS service organization in the United States, as well as the nation’s largest minority-controlled AIDS service organization. Since our founding in 1990, we have provided lifesaving services, such as housing, medical and mental health care, meals, job training, drug treatment, HIV prevention education, and social support to more than 20,000 homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS.
So visit!

That is very cool. I would have bought something from that store definitely just because of where the money goes. I wish there were more socially justice minded people in the world. Thank you for highlighting them! Do they have a website?
