HIV is Not a CRIME IV, (HINAC) the fourth NATIONAL TRAINING ACADEMY
TO EDUCATE, train and mobilize 300 people living with HIV (PLHIV),
stakeholders and policy leaders to mobilize state-level advocacy to
end HIV-related criminalization, will be held May 30-June 2, 2019, at
THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY in COLUMBUS, Ohio.Criminalization reform
efforts continue to grow across the U.S., and around the world,
recognized as a critical effort to reduce HIV transmission as well as
to protect the rights of, and improve health outcomes for PLHIV. It is
vital these grassroots advocacy and mobilization efforts are informed
by the latest science and research, expert strategy and well-grounded
research. Equally important is that they work in coalition with other
social, racial and economic justice movements in their states, which
HINAC helps to facilitate.
In recognition of the many forms criminalization takes, its disparate
impacts on marginalized communities and the many ways advocates can
address it, the program of HINAC IV will celebrate successes, explore
continuing challenges and dive deeply into the areas where change can
happen: state legislatures, courtrooms, prosecutors’ offices, media
and in the HIV community itself.
