Hey John,

On the 4th day of CommuniTEA's Week of Action, we're talking healthy relationships!

RSVP here to join us tonight on Zoom for Love Letters to Black Women: Exploring Healthy Relationships through the Lens of HIV Advocacy.
 
Tonight at 6:30pm EST, CommuniTEA members will host a discussion about how HIV stigma and myths impact how young Black women and girls engage in relationships in their lives. Together, we will explore how to take what we know about healthy relationships, HIV advocacy, and Black culture and apply it to our relationships with partners, friends, and family. Come out to learn and share with Naiymah and Karmella.

CommuniTEA is our program focused on centering Black women and girls in HIV prevention, treatment, destigmatization, and decriminalization. It's time to move away from stigmatizing language about HIV risk, and change the narrative to focus on REASONS that motivate and empower Black women and girls to address their sexual health. That's why we want you to use #RiskToReasons in your posts! We're also a partner in the CDC's #StopHIVTogether initiative and encourage you to use that hashtag as well.

Hope to see you this evening!

In case you missed it...

Our Digital Day of Action was a success! And it's not too late to take action here!

Yesterday we mobilized to get over 1,600 letters sent to Congress about the need to #SaveHIVFunding! We're now only 320 letters away from our goal! If you want to help stop the proposed $767 million in cuts to HIV funding, use our toolkit here to share the action.

Don't forget to post on Sunday!
