In honor of World AIDS Day today, Brooklyn-based composer Sam Salmond has released a heart-rending music video for his song "Away" inspired by The Ashes Action – the 1992 ACT UP march that culminated in men and women throwing their loved ones' ashes onto the White House lawn to protest the government's neglect of those impacted by the AIDS crisis.

And in lieu of any commercial gain, Salmond is asking viewers to make a donation to one of the following wonderful AIDS charities: AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Gay Men's Health Crisis, or Elton John AIDS Foundation.
