CHLP is rolling out newly revised and updated HIV criminalization maps. Join us for a webinar to walk through the changes on Wednesday, February 26 at 11:30am CT / 12:30pm ET. Register for Visualizing the Threat to Our Communities: New HIV Criminalization Maps from the Center for HIV Law and Policy.
The release of these revised maps comes at a critical juncture when we are facing an onslaught of threats to public health. With federal agencies like the CDC facing restrictions on their ability to communicate clear, science-based information on HIV criminalization, it’s more important than ever for advocates working on the ground to have access to accurate, comprehensive data.
In observance of HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day, CHLP’s Kytara Epps, Jada Hicks, and Sean McCormick will discuss the update process and highlight important features of the new maps, including key definitions and concepts.
As our understanding of the scope and impact of HIV criminalization continues to expand, the tools we use to talk about the issue must also evolve. With the newest and most substantial update to the Map of HIV Criminalization in the United States, CHLP’s Positive Justice Project aims to accurately represent the threat of HIV criminalization while improving the accessibility of our data and resources.
