AVAC joins POZ magazine in celebrating 100 activists under the age of 30. For each of the last five years, POZ has pulled together a “POZ 100” list, honoring some of the outstanding advocates and activists working to end the epidemics. This year’s list focuses on the future—and a new generation of leaders in the response. “Celebrating Youth Power” highlights:
“Unsung heroes under the age of 30 who are taking a stand against HIV/AIDS. These young leaders come from across the country—and around the world. Some are HIV positive and some are HIV negative, which seemed appropriate since everyone, regardless of their HIV status, should be encouraged to join the struggle.”
AVAC is especially proud and privileged to note that 10 members of this year’s list are past or current members of AVAC’s PxROAR and Advocacy Fellows programs.
- Josephine Ayankoya; Atlanta, GA
- Devin Barrington-Ward; Washington, DC
- Josephine Kamarebe; Kigali, Rwanda
