Guide SAC's Policy Strategy
Organizational members can request to join the SAC Public Policy Committee, a diverse group that works with SAC’s Board and staff to develop policy priorities and guide an advocacy strategy for the South. The committee meets quarterly (3 virtual meetings and 1 in-person meeting).
Magnify Your Voice at the National Level
We engage in direct federal, state, and local advocacy in partnership with southerners living with HIV and the organizations that serve them. We carry your stories from the front line to a variety of forums, including national policy groups, federal decision makers, funders, and more.
We also provide opportunities for you to actively participate in advocacy via action alerts, sign-on letters, petitions, etc.
Support State-Based Advocacy Efforts
We recognize the importance of holding state and local government accountable for the systemic policy changes and strategic investments needed to improve the lives of those living with and impacted by HIV in the South.
We provide technical assistance, training, and ongoing administrative support to a network of state-based advocacy groups across the Deep South.
Experience a Smarter Way to Stay Informed
We notify you of grants and other funding opportunities available to the South.
Expand Your Reach
We regularly communicate with thousands of individuals across the South through our website, e-newsletter, and social media platforms to share important information about your organization, including employment opportunities and upcoming events.
Network with Colleagues from Across the South
More than ever, we have to work together to coordinate efforts and maximize scarce resources in new and unprecedented ways.
