Hey John,
Welcome to National Youth HIV & AIDS Week's Day of Action! While we’ve come a long way in how we talk about and treat HIV & AIDS, it’s easy to forget that the law hasn’t quite caught up.
TAKE ACTION: Can you use this link to send a letter to Congress asking them to update outdated laws that harm people living with HIV?
In so many ways, merely living with HIV is criminalized in this country. Check out and share our Instagram explainer here to see what we mean.
If this is as upsetting to you as it is to us, we've got something you can do today. Not only can you send a letter to your members of Congress above, but you can share the action and educate your community using our Day of Action Toolkit here.
We need as many people to post those graphics and share that action as possible. So don't be shy about sharing it with friends or other organizations and student groups. Tag us in the posts and we'll be sure to share!
Then on Friday, join us for a film screening and youth panel in partnership with BLACK, GAY, stuck at home. Head to bgsah.com for key updates about the feature film and panel featuring two NYHAAD Collective members.
Hope to see you there!
In solidarity,
Char'Lee Marie King
Manager, HIV Campaigns
