ADVOCACY & PUBLIC POLICY

Find out more

ADVOCACY & PUBLIC POLICY POSITION

We approach our advocacy as a matter of human dignity, human rights, and social justice.  We wish to conceptualize HIV policy issues and innovate community-based solutions to those issues from the grassroots up. In order to meaningfully address the impact of HIV/AIDS and other sexual and reproductive oppression on Black, Indigenous and other People-of-Color women, children, men, and non-binary and others, we center the experiences of those directly impacted by the epidemic and the social determinants of health that shape their health outcomes.  


Our Advocacy Areas are broad and expansive and include:

HIV/AIDS PREVENTION TREATMENT AND CARE

HEALTH INEQUITIES & DISPARITIES

INTERSECTION OF HEALTH, ACCESS & RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE 

STIGMA, DISCRIMINATION, VIOLENCE 


Here are our vehicles of action:

ADMINISTRATIVE ADVOCACY

We engage with the federal and state agencies to pursue (and defend against) policies  that have an impact on communities of color, women, youth, and other key populations disparately impacted by prevailing reproductive health inequities and structural oppression. 

 

MOVEMENT BUILDING

We identify and mobilize a broad base of women and youth living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and other forms of reproductive oppression, through education, outreach, and public engagement. 


COALITION LEADERSHIP

We connect, consult, and collaborate with advocates at local, state, and national levels to ensure that diverse and marginalized voices are taken into account by policymakers.  

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

We inform public debate on reproductive justice issues by producing  intersectional policy writing intended to elevate diverse stakeholders’ understanding through online, print, radio, and television news sources. 

 

PUBLIC EDUCATION & ADVOCACY

We conduct campaigns to connect the public to pressing reproductive justice issues, using the power of social media, the press, and other communications outlets.


PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

We equip community and service providers with an awareness of the unique challenges facing women and communities of color, as well as tools to implement justice-based strategies in a variety of settings.


COMMUNITY AWARENESS

We speak at universities and with local community and religious groups to elevate our communities’ voices and a justice-based framework in order to create a community better able to respond to structural inequity and oppression.
