Our team is so thrilled to be joining other LGBTQ+ advocacy groups from around the country at the annual @EqualityFed conference this week! (1/2)

[Robert Suttle @suttlepoints]

I am grateful for the opportunity to speak at the @EqualityFed 27th Leadership Conference 2024 in Portland, Oregon, from July 29-31. During a live-action forum titled "Frontlines & Forward Action - Black & LGBTQ+ Leaders Chart a New Course on Decriminalizing HIV Domestically & Globally,” we aimed to help leaders of the LGBTQ+ state-based movement, national partners, and major funders connect and understand how domestic HIV decriminalization efforts in politically challenging states can inform global policy models. If you would like to learn more about how to get involve or support work to end HIV criminalization in the U.S and worldwide reach out to me via my website at https://t.co/enUcxxvOx5

After years of cruelty and attacks on our rights by DeSantis, the tide is turning—and the resistance is winning critical battles. Thousands of families across FL are showing up to challenge DeSantis' extremist agenda. While the work is hard, we'll continue fighting every fight.

📢 Most #HIV crime prosecutions unlikely to transmit HIV. It mostly affects #Black people. 6 states require offenders to register as #sexoffenders. Let’s #repeal #discriminatory laws nationwide! @WilliamsPolicy @EqualityOhio #EndHIVCriminalization https://t.co/h51At6sY8l 📚
