Come and check out the Collective’s panels and workshops
Join Sero Project staff members Deirdre Speaks, Kamaria Laffrey & Kerry Thomas as they represent members of The Collective at USCHA through the first-ever HIV Criminalization pathway/institute. The Collective is an intentional coordination of Black subject matter experts, the majority living with HIV, and co-conspirators rooted in advocating to transform justice for people living with and impacted by HIV. As a body composed of Black executives and leaders from Center for HIV Law & Policy , Sero Project, ECHO VA - Ending Criminalization of HIV and Overincarceration in Virginia , Federation Institute, and AIDS Foundation Chicago, the Collective is committed to building an intersectional movement to decriminalize HIV by promoting science-based and proven HIV public health strategies.
The Collective envisions a world where people living with and impacted by HIV do not face the threat of arrest, prosecution, and incarceration due to their HIV status. Join us at the institutes and workshops you see listed, and also look for us in the exhibit hall for more information about our work!
