Live from the Florida Harm Reduction Conference 2024! Angel Gomez, AIDS United’s Harm Reduction Program Manager, joined the opening plenary panel on “Federal Harm Reduction Policy in an Election Year 2024 and Beyond.” This discussion focused on the upcoming November 5th election and its impact on scaling up harm reduction services like syringe programs, overdose prevention centers, and naloxone distribution, all while addressing racial and ethnic disparities. The harm reduction community has been at the forefront of the overdose crisis, and no one has more at stake. Join us to discover how we can advocate for our future.

On the National Day of Action to End Violence Against Women living with HIV, founded by the Positive Women's Network - USA in 2014, we stand together to address the critical issue of gender-based violence affecting women living with HIV. AIDS United’s Melanated Movement Fund aims to foster a world where every Black woman has the power and support to not only survive but thrive in the face of HIV. We are building the capacity of community-based organizations, equipping them with the resources, training, and support they need to implement innovative, tailored approaches to HIV prevention and care. Together with our grantees, we are not just addressing the epidemic; we are fostering a future where all women can lead healthy, empowered lives, supported by communities that care deeply about their well-being.

The stakes for reproductive rights in the United States have never been higher. For the first time in over 50 years, many Americans will head to the polls to vote in a presidential election without the ability to legally obtain an abortion in their home state. The future of reproductive rights in this country—and potentially the makeup of the Supreme Court for a generation—hinges on the outcome of this election. It’s crucial that voters understand exactly where Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump stand on abortion. Here are their past actions and policy stances on the issue.
