Michigan Positive Action Coalition

"We’re taking command of our disease one t-cell at a time......."

The Michigan Positive Action Coalition (MI-POZ) is a group of people living with HIV/AIDS who advocate for themselves and others living with, or at risk for this disease. Our goal is to increase grassroots leadership and participation by persons living with HIV/AIDS in legislative education activities. Through training and capacity building activities, MI-Poz will assist people living with HIV/AIDS in learning how to advocate for themselves and impact our community by increasing legislators’ knowledge, accountability, and responsiveness to issues that impact their constituents living with HIV/AIDS, leading to increased and more comprehensive support of HIV care and prevention activities.

MI-Poz seeks to inform other PWA’s (Persons with AIDS) and the community at large of legislative and health policy issues which impact HIV prevention and care and act as an independent voice of PLWHA’s (Persons Living with HIV/AIDS) free from restrictions on our speech or activities as an informed, educated and empowered group of citizens.
