Be Part of Developing a U.S. HIV/AIDS Strategy -- Speak Out at a Discussion in Your Area or Testify OnlineNovember 16, 2009 How can you be part of creating the first-ever U.S. national HIV/AIDS strategy? The White House Office of National AIDS Policy (ONAP) has almost completed its series of HIV/AIDS Community Discussions throughout the U.S. ONAP is asking for input, comments and testimonials from a broad range of HIV/AIDS community members, so find the discussion nearest you and plan to have your voice heard! Speakers at the discussions won't have more than about one minute to speak, so HIV activists with the HIV Prevention Justice Alliance have created tools for speakers to use to help them gather their thoughts before the meeting, and to make the most of their time at the microphone. Activists at Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP) are also available to share their knowledge with groups organizing around their local ONAP community discussions. You can also submit your testimony and other supporting documents online from now through Nov. 23, 2009, at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.
