RACIAL JUSTICE
The Racial Justice Working Group began from an acknowledgement that HIV impacts Black communities disproportionately. The Group works toward ensuring that Black and Brown voices are listened to and centered, and that white people check their privilege and are accountable to themselves, each other, and the group as a whole.

In 1991 ACT UP was instrumental in establishing Prevention Point Philadelphia, the sterile syringe exchange program. Here is a link to the Harm Reduction Coalition’s Principles of Harm Reduction - Harm Reduction Coalition.
