Our Public Policy team works to pass legislation and secure funding that benefits people living with and at risk for HIV, LGBTQ+ people, people who use substances, and other intersectional causes.
We advocate at the local, state, and federal levels, in collaboration with coalitions such as the statewide End the Epidemics coalition.
