** PrEP in Black America: new podcast and events + a lineup of webinars
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Advocate,
This week our Advocacy Chronicles podcast casts a spotlight on the state of HIV prevention among Black people in the US and particularly, the dismal statistics on access to PrEP in Black communities. It features Danielle Campbell, one of the founders of PrEP In Black America (PIBA) and a long-time advocate for HIV prevention and health equity. The episode explores the tactics that have led PIBA to quickly rise as a powerhouse advocacy group by bringing together communities and government to find solutions that improve the US HIV response.
For more on PrEP in Black America and the issues Danielle covered in our podcast, tune in to a webinar today ([link removed]) and a town hall conversation ([link removed]) Wednesday. Details are below. And read on for additional upcoming AVAC and partner events.
