NMAC (Still) Wants Your Opinion
As we mentioned in last week’s Connection, we want your opinion on options for the 2018 USCA theme.
In honor of our special speaker Larry Kramer and all HIV activists, we wanted to make this year’s USCA theme more activist in nature. In today’s political environment, we need everyone to be an activist, including calling or e-mailing your representatives, registering to vote and voting, and getting others to vote.
What do you think? Let us know by 5:00 pm EST Monday, May 14 which option you like in an online survey.
Results will be presented immediately following your response; however, any respondent who wants to see the results, must click the “Done” button at the end of the page and wait a few seconds.
