  • The Georgia Equality team is glad to be back home in Georgia after spending last week in Portland, Oregon for the annual Equality Federation Leadership Conference! We got to meet with other state-based partner organizations, connect with national partners and funders, and learn from one another to better serve our communities. Georgia Equality staff were also able to present at several sessions about our work– everything from independent expenditures, to funding partnerships, to creative programmatic work to serve LGBTQ+ Georgians. Thanks to all of our friends at the #EqFed24 for a great week and we can't wait for next summer to do it all again!

  • This week, we were proud to convene, alongside Elton John AIDS Foundation, an action planning meeting of 40 public health, equality, and advocacy leaders in Georgia to discuss how to expand access to HIV prevention services across the state. Our partners at Positive Impact Health Centers hosted the meeting, where we focused on expanding access to HIV prevention services and linkage to care through community pharmacies. Representatives from across the state discussed how to strengthen partnerships and effectively create an environment that expands and sustains HIV prevention services in pharmacies, including access to PrEP and PEP.  We look forward to continuing to collaborate with partners to accelerate efforts to meet the U.S. goal to end the HIV epidemic by 2030. #HIV #Pharmacists #EndtheHIVEpidemic
