Mission:
The mission of the Latino Coalition Against AIDS (LCAA) is to shape and mobilize a unified community response to the AIDS epidemic in the Latino community. The Coalition develops public and private partnerships to address key public policy issues associated with Latinos and AIDS in
The LCAA conducts research and analysis of legislation at the federal, state and local government levels. In addition, we analyze health policy issues that impact upon our patients/participants and clients. The coalition seeks to:
- Empower patients/participants/clients and staff to advocate for strong and healthy communities.
- Monitor public policy, provide analysis and advocate for views adopted by the coalition.
- Coordinate briefings with legislators and their staff to discuss current health issues.
- Network with other social and health care organizations to promote wellness individuals, families and their communities around HIV.
- Plan site visits and educational forums with elected and appointed officials from the federal, state and local governments to maintain a dialogue on health and social services needs within HIV underserved areas.
- Encourage members and volunteers to actively participate in civic activities that promote citizenship, adult education and the importance of voting on the issues that affect them, their families and their communities.
