The Policy & Public Affairs Department's Health Policy staff advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender equality in federal, state, and local legislation and funding that would support people living with and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. Current efforts include the recently re-authorized Ryan White CARE Act; calling for increased support of HIV prevention programs; working with the legislature and others to eliminate barriers to HIV testing and treatment and encouraging community members to become involved with advocacy. Health Policy staff also serves to educate legislators and the broader community of the disparities of health care for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Location L.A.
