Intentional Advocacy in the South
Advocacy in all its forms seeks to ensure that people can have their voice heard on issues that are important to them. It helps people defend and safeguard their rights. Advocacy can also give people the chance to have their views and wishes considered when decisions are being made about their lives.
The Southern AIDS Coalition (SAC) and ETR are pleased to provide free access to a new resource to support grassroots advocacy in the U.S. South.
Advocacy goes hand-in-hand with HIV prevention and treatment interventions. When we look at the key indicators of HIV surveillance, the southern region of the United States has a high incidence of HIV, high AIDS diagnoses, high death rates, a high level of stigma and few resources. Advocacy can change the landscape of HIV and AIDS in the South.
