Huge news for Vermont! Vermont is poised to become one of the first states to lead the US in opening OPCs, a life-saving & evidence-based harm reduction practice with decades of research behind it. Kudos to all the activists who made this happen, including my love Mike Selick

High Court turns down request to compel President Akufo-Addo to accept LGBTQ Bill.

Ghana's anti-LGBTQ Bill suffers another setback as court says they can't force President to receive the Bill from Parliament for assent or otherwise, in a case filed by Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor

funding cuts kill. Today, we're calling on Dr. John Nkengasong to and reprogram these funds for high-quality, KP-led interventions.

We need PEPFAR to expand HIV treatment, prevention, human rights and other structural interventions to hit the 95-95-95 targets!

No better way to celebrate than by celebrating Colombia's bold move to prioritize lives over ViiV Healthcare's monopoly. Superior treatment options won't be priced out of reach of Colombians w anymore!

It's what real eadership on pandemic response looks like. Viva ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด!

Colombia's๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ด compulsory license for generic dolutegravir could mean that the price of this life-saving HIV med is reduced by as much as 80%โ€”breaking big pharma monopoly & a breakthrough for public health.
Happy !

This & more is what student activists are protesting. While President Biden ignores Israel's flagrant violations of international law, it calls brave, non violent, lawful protest led by Black, brown, Muslim, Jewish, & queers 'horrific.' Wrong side in the face of genocide, President Biden. Shame.
