The 2023 CHLP Impact Report – the first-of-its-kind for CHLP – highlights our work to create change and advance our mission throughout 2023. Our first year under the leadership of Executive Director S. Mandisa Moore-O’Neal was one of transformation and grounded reassessments during which CHLP:

  • Adopted a new mission, vision, and unapologetically abolitionist framework that has become a model for the HIV justice movement;
  • Celebrated the DOJ findings that HIV criminal laws violate the ADA, based on an innovative legal strategy developed by CHLP;
  • Challenged the CDC on Molecular HIV Surveillance policy and created a roadmap for advocates on how to address MHS with lawmakers; 
  • Demanded improvements to the Older Americans Act while working to develop a legal primer for people living and aging with HIV, and more.
