Two Weeks Until Huntsville! Register NOW for the HIV Is Not a Crime II National Training Academy

HIV Is Not a Crime II Conference

The HIV is Not a Crime II Training Academy will be held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, May 17 - 20, 2016. You can still register to be part of this transformative advocacy training experience!

Join co-organizers PositiveWomen's Network USA (PWN-USA) and the SEROProject—two networks of people living with HIV and helping to build a diverse, intersectional movement against HIV criminalization in the South and across the United States.

Plenary and session topics will include:

• Intersections of race, gender and sexuality in HIV criminalization
• Centering the rights of sex workers and other over-criminalized groups
• Updates and tips from active state-based campaigns against HIV criminalization
• Supporting leadership of people living with HIV in the movement to end HIV criminalization

HIV is a human rights issue; criminalization of people living with HIV is a social justice issue. The Training Academy will unite and train advocates living with HIV and allies from across the country on strategies and best practices for repealing laws criminalizing people living with and vulnerable to HIV.

Heinous violations of the rights of people living with HIV, like the recent, active case of Corey Rangel in Michigan are made possible by a landscape in which laws on the books make it a crime to live with a health condition. Come to Huntsville and learn strategies from advocates opposing these unjust laws!

The training academy will convene in the Deep South, the region most heavily affected by not only HIV, but many other symptoms of a history steeped in injustice and trauma.
