Tonight on Central Issues, Tues December 1

We discuss the issue of domestic violence during the holidays, and the stresses associated with it with   Vera House Executive Director Randi Bregman.  What’s interesting about this discussion is that some people in abusive relationships stay because the message this time of year is that you are supposed to be with family.  Bottom line, we’ll offer alternatives that can give people the support they need.  It’s also World AIDS day and we look at the how people are aging with the disease, plus efforts of the Syracuse Black Leadership Commission on AIDS, to get African American churches on board.   Two issues here first, people are living longer with HIV/AIDS, but they are also being infected later in life so what are efforts supporting those with HIV/AIDS over 50, and  we discuss why religion and faith among African American clergy has been a barrier to educating people about the disease, and what is being done to overcome the resistance.  Michael Crinnin, of AIDS Community Resources and Rev. Chauncey Brown, of the Syracuse Black Leadership Commission on AIDS join us.  Watch Central Issues tonight 6:30PM WCNY 24.1 WCNY Time Warner 12
