Thank you to Ken Pinkela and all of the advocates who worked so hard to assist this young man in his defense. This is a great victory.
A young Air Force service member gets to wake up at HOME today because of the amazing Love, compassion and professionalism of Peter Perkowski, Ben Young an amazing young Air Force JAG officer and many others ...
A powerful signal was sent yesterday by a mixed panel of enlisted and officer's -
Living with #HIV is tough enough .. we are healthy undetectable and loyal to our units, our comrades our families and our Nation...
Patriotism drove us to serve our Nation .. and in spite of living with a very manageable virus - We chose to Serve and Give Back to an already great Nation, but because of the Stigma, Fear and Prejudice that still surrounds those three letters H-I-V some people believe they are empowered to attack us and in cases like my own and this current case...to wrongfully use the prosecution power to attack and ruin our lives
Well NOT yesterday!
WE finally broke through the barrier and a group of fellow service members said NOT today - GO Home young Airman...Wake up and go to work...GO back to serving the Nation...
We have a great deal of work left to do to preclude this from ever happening again but for the moment lets savor the feeling from knowing one young service member is back on duty today!
#HIVisNotaCrime Outserve - SLDN The SERO Project
We are honored for the recognition by the Black and Pink membership at the Black and Pink National Gathering 2017 held in Chicago August 4-6, celebrating 12 Years of organizing with LGBTQ and HIV positive folks toward the abolition of the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) rooted in the experiences of currently and formerly incarcerated people. We receive the Mike Riegle Award in recognition of our unwavering and liberatory work challenging HIV criminalization and supporting LGBTQ and/or HIV+ prisoners.
This award is named after Mike Riegle, a journalist, gay liberationist and prisoner rights activist. Riegle became involved with the anarchist paper The Fag Rag and became part of the Gay Community News staff in 1979. Riegle expanded the newspaper’s policy of providing free penpal ads to prisoners and began a program providing gays and lesbians behind bars with legal and health information. Riegle was an active advocate for prisoners and published on the subject extensively in GCN. He became a part of the Redbook Prison Book Program and advised the American Friends Service Committee and the AIDS Action Committee on the concerns of prisoners. Mike Riegle died on January 10, 1992 after a long struggle with AIDS.
Announcing the 2017 Positive Living Pre-Conference:
HIV Is Not A Crime Training Workshops
In 2016, The SERO Project and OASIS hosted a five-session track on HIV Criminalization where participants convened to learn about laws specific to their state, how to engage with lawmakers to share their story, and what these laws mean for people living with HIV.
Since then, several states have mobilized with advocates and allies to do community education on what HIV criminalization means, talked to legislators to modernize their current laws and what to do if faced with the potential of being criminalized because of their HIV status. To keep the momentum going and expand on what’s being done in over twenty states, SERO and OASIS are hosting a full day of workshops prior to the Positive Living Conference for deeper engagement with new advocates, as well as those that have been engaging in this work since the last gathering. For those that haven’t had a chance to attend the HIV Is Not A Crime Training Academy, consider this a preview!

During this training, people living with HIV will have the opportunity to advance advocacy in their home state addressing HIV criminalization, foster understanding of the political realities of specific legislative processes as well as the skills to navigate the process, and educate interested advocates on the Florida specific legislative strategy.
