Action = Life

by Joanie Juster

Monday, June 5, was National HIV Long-Term Survivors Day. San Francisco AIDS Foundation’s HIV Advocacy Network (HAN) hosted a day of action called Action = Life to advocate for housing and healthcare for queer and HIV communities in the San Francisco city budget. The day began with advocacy training, then a march to City Hall, and a rally on the steps. Participants then met with members of the Board of Supervisors to share their stories, and ask representatives to prioritize making these investments in the community.
