Our team is so thrilled to be joining other LGBTQ+ advocacy groups from around the country at the annual @EqualityFed conference this week! (1/2)

I am grateful for the opportunity to speak at the @EqualityFed 27th Leadership Conference 2024 in Portland, Oregon, from July 29-31. During a live-action forum titled "Frontlines & Forward Action - Black & LGBTQ+ Leaders Chart a New Course on Decriminalizing HIV Domestically & Globally,” we aimed to help leaders of the LGBTQ+ state-based movement, national partners, and major funders connect and understand how domestic HIV decriminalization efforts in politically challenging states can inform global policy models. If you would like to learn more about how to get involve or support work to end HIV criminalization in the U.S and worldwide reach out to me via my website at robertsuttle.com/contact #EqFedLC2024 #HIVIsNotACrime #BlackLGBTQ #Advocacy

We loved being in Portland last week for the @equalityfed Leadership Conference, which we were also proud to sponsor. We joined a panel alongside @a_better_balance and @EqualityOhio, and it was empowering to share insight into abusive preemption as it impacts #LGBTQ communities.
