The Women's Collective signed on to a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, protesting the fact that Black women are not represented on the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS or PACHA. The protest letter, circulated by the National Black Women's HIV/AIDS Network, notes that of the 24 individuals choosen to be a part of PACHA, there is a clear absence of representation from Black women openly living with HIV/AIDS. The letter urges Secretray Sebelius to ensure the critical voice of Black women among PACHA membership. You can make your voice heard by signing on and urging representation of Black women on PACHA by visiting the National Minority AIDS Council website. |
