With the new presidential administration's hostile actions towards the LGBTQ+ community, public health, and reproductive rights, Pride and Plasma is here to ensure the public understands the new policies and practices impacting them.
Under our "Federal Resources" initiative we will breakdown the impact of new executive orders, legislation, and judicial cases impacting our community.
As the new administration removes access to public information related to HIV, prevention methods, trans & gender-diverse resources, and reproductive health, we'll be here to fill in, breaking down issues and your rights with our breakdowns.
Along with our sister site, Evidence Based Policy, we'll provide general education in the governmental, political, and civics processes, as well as routes to begin your own advocacy.
