Positive Change Movement

Our Mission and Vision

The Positive Change Movement is a community-driven initiative dedicated to championing health, advocacy, and empowerment for individuals living with HIV/AIDS, those affected by HIV/AIDS, and all marginalized communities. We are committed to upholding the principles of Meaningful Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS (MIPA) to ensure that their voices are at the forefront of our work. Through peer support, decriminalization efforts, and the fight to end stigma, PCM seeks to dismantle systems of inequality and create a more just and equitable society for all. We envision a world where individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences can thrive free from discrimination, stigma, and barriers to health and equity. Guided by the principles of Meaningful Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS (MIPA), we strive to foster a society that uplifts and empowers individuals living with and affected by HIV/AIDS and all marginalized communities. Our vision is to actively dismantle systems of oppression, promote inclusivity, and build a future where everyone—regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or health status—has the opportunity to thrive.
