RIBBON ROUNDTABLE: POLICY PRIORITIES FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV IN BC
August 20 | 6:00 - 8:00pm
This spring, Ribbon Community hosted two online opportunities for people living with HIV throughout the province to share perspectives on HIV policy, barriers to advocacy, and pathways for change. Over 45 people living with HIV participated, and generated 10 ideas of interest to folks across the province. On Wednesday, August 20 all people living with HIV are invited to join us as we get specific about these ideas, prioritize what we can accomplish, and begin to brainstorm how to make this happen. All people living with HIV in BC are invited to join us as we work to prioritize the great ideas we heard during our Forums. This session will inform our priorities as we work to ensure people living with HIV are part of policy making in BC. Registration for this online only event is now open at this link.
