WAD: We Are Dying (Still)
As ACT UP we are here to hold this administration and the international community accountable for perpetuating the stigma of HIV. In 2016, 1.6 million people globally contracted HIV. Currently, 72 countries criminalize HIV. If we want to end the epidemic, we must push legislations to decriminalize HIV and to stop using stigma-inducing language. We’ll also be highlighting cases in which people were incarcerated for being HIV+. Join us.

WHEN: Wednesday, November 29, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
