If you're in San Francisco, you might drop by the memorial for Martin Delaney -- an AIDS drug activist who pressured the FDA to revamp the way they tested and brought new drugs to market. He founded Project Inform in 1985, a national patient advocacy organization. He died last month from complications of liver cancer at the age of 63.

Here are the details via Project Inform on his memorial:

Memorial and celebration of Martin Delaney's life and work

Saturday, March 14, 2009, 4:30pm
Eureka Valley Recreation Center
100 Collingwood @ 18th Street
Castro District, San Francisco

You are invited to attend the civic memorial and celebration of life for Martin Delaney. Feel free to stop by and meet others who knew this great activist. No RSVP necessary. The Memorial will be followed at approximately 6pm with a reception and refreshments.

Public transportation is strongly encouraged since parking near the Rec Center may be difficult to find. The MUNI Castro Station is a convenient two-block walk to the Rec Center (lines K, L and M). MUNI bus lines 24 and 33 stop one block away at Castro and 18th Streets. Also, the F Market trolley stops in the Castro.

Martin requested that donations be made to Project Inform in his honor.
