This event highlights the “Get Active!” component of June’s theme. A morning plenary session will focus on policy updates from local and national AIDS advocacy leaders. From Philadelphia to Africa and beyond, speakers will brief the audience on policies affecting AIDS treatment and prevention. Workshops will teach people about active campaigns that people can join up with to be more involved in AIDS activism. This event is for those new to being involved and for seasoned activists who want to sharpen their skills.
