United We Rise Works To Collectively End The HIV Epidemic For Every(Black)Body
United We Rise (UWR) recently launched nationally with the goal to unite and mobilize a collective force to end the HIV epidemic and uplift the quality of life for Black people. This new national effort is a pioneering collaboration of over 30 groups brought together by three organizations–National Black Gay Men’s Advocacy Coalition (NBGMAC), National Black Women’s HIV/AIDS Network (the Network), and the Multicultural AIDS Coalition (MAC). Together, these groups and their UWR partner organizations are working to build a Black-led, intersectional initiative that ends HIV, while fighting for a just response to COVID-19. The work of UWR is also grounded in the dismantling of racism that permeates Black life.
