⁣⁣
In this year of 2020, we have witnessed the largest and most sustained round of protests against the police that this country has seen since the 1960's. Amidst nationwide demands for racial justice, experts and organizers are discussing how to bring about police reform. This transformation is necessary, but we must also grapple with how Black communities can empower themselves to address this long standing problem of police brutality/violence and heal from the subsequent racial trauma. #𝗪𝐞𝐀𝐫𝐞𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐃𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠⁣⁣

During Pride month, and during a time where we must work to center ALL Black lives, bodies, and voices, NYABPsi would like to celebrate and honor those standing on the front line for Black LGBTQ+ folx! -
Today we acknowledge, Dr. Marjorie Hill, a past president of NYABPsi. Dr. Hill was at the epicenter of the historically drastic shift in HIV/AIDS care during her long history of service with the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, the nation’s oldest AIDS service organization, as its longest-tenured chief executive officer. She is now the designated chair of the New York State AIDS Advisory Council, the culmination of more than two decades of leadership experience.
