What sucks with these awareness months and days is the drop back into obscurity. For many people and much of the media, Nov 1 was forget AIDS day, March 1 - forget Black History Day, April 1 - forget Gender Equality and Self Harm, May 1 - forget Autism, June 1 - forget Mental Health and today (July 1st) is forget Pride Day. Increased awareness for a month isn't enough. We have to be advocates all the time, particularly for those that the current administration would marginalize.
