Prevention Justice Seminar

CHAMP held the first ever Prevention Justice Seminar (PJS) in New York City from October 4 - November 22.

The PJS is an intensive, intergenerational course in which participants share experiences and skills and learn new information towards building the movement for HIV prevention justice.

Each meeting of our seminar included presentations, discussion, and reading materials.

WHAT IS THE PREVENTION JUSTICE SEMINAR?

• a lively TRAINING COURSE looking at the history and realities
of economics, politics, and social change movements in the United
States!

• the ONLY program bringing together HIV prevention issues with
human rights, racial justice, sharp data analysis, and a willingness to
challenge the “conventional wisdom” in order to craft new strategies for
better policies in our next generation.

• a place to pull together the skills, passion and intelligence of people
with HIV, community leaders and organizers, youth, students, service
providers, thinkers and trouble-makers who want to increase our
POWER to win REAL CHANGE
