On April 28 and 29, more than 300 HIV advocates descended on Washington, D.C., for AIDSWatch, the largest annual national constituent-based advocacy event focused on HIV in the U.S. — two days of trainings and visits with lawmakers on Capitol Hill. From coordinating to asking important questions to teaching others what not to do at a Hill visit, PWN-USA members were there in force. Stay tuned for more images and voices from AIDSWatch!
