Activism
Empowering Clients
Staff, Volunteers and Supporters
Activism plays a critical role in the fight against AIDS. The nation’s largest AIDS activist group, Housing Works is dedicated to empowering clients, staff, volunteers and supporters to take action—from phone zaps to Congressional visits to street-side civil disobedience—on an array of pressing local, state, national and international AIDS issues. Housing Works’ efforts are powered by the involvement of people like you, who don’t turn a blind eye to injustice. Read our Housing Works AIDS Issues Update blog, and sign up for our newsletter to stay informed and learn what you can do to create change.
