Community Rally and Press Conference: Stop & Frisk Criminalizes HIV Prevention - End the NYPD’s War On Public Health! Condoms & Clean Needles Aren't Crimes
Stop and frisk is bad for our health. Among the practice's many negative consequences, it hurts HIV prevention when people are harassed or arrested for carrying condoms or syringes. Join people living with HIV/AIDS, syringe exchange participants, sex workers and service providers to call for passage of the Community Safety Act and an end to biased policing practices.
