AIDS Watch in Georgia: An HIV Advocacy Day at the Gold Dome

Register Below- Space is Limited!

Think about it: If just 1% of the 60,000 people living with HIV in Georgia joined us to advocate at the Capitol, we would pack the halls!

People living with HIV live, work and thrive in every legislative district across our state, but many state lawmakers are unaware of the issues that affect our diverse community. This event will provide a free training on how to educate state legislators at the Capitol on HIV policy. Following the training, we will stand united under the Gold Dome to put our training into action. Attendees will have an opportunity to talk one-on-one with their representative in the House and Senate (don't know who your legislators are? No problem– we'll bring this information to you!). We will educate elected officials on issues like HIV criminalization, HIV education, HIV prevention/care funding, healthcare access, LGBTQ rights, racial justice and reproductive justice.

Following our time in the Capitol, we'll reconvene for lunch, debrief, and a panel discussion on HIV/AIDS policy under the Gold Dome.

Training and a light breakfast and lunch are provided to all attendees.

Date/Time: Thursday, February 6, 2025, 9:00am - 1:00pm
Location: The Freight Depot, BLUE ROOM, 65 M.L.K. Jr Dr SW, Atlanta, GA 30303) We will meet for a brief training at 9:00am, then walk across the street to the Capitol to speak with our legislators. After lobbying, we'll reconvene for lunch and a panel discussion on HIV/AIDS at the legislature.
