We recommend how the Agency for…November 2023Social Environment, Racism
- October marks LGBTQ History Month, and this week on At Liberty we are honoring the legacy of LGBTQ activism throughout the AIDS epidemic.

In response to government inaction and homophobia, a group of New York City…October 2023Advocacy

- On February 26, 2012, a Black child, Trayvon Martin, was executed in Sanford, Florida. Seventeen months later his killer was found not guilty. This is but one example of the state’s brazen disregard for Black life, rooted in the kidnapping and enslavement of Africans more than 400 years ago, and the ways in which they and their descendants were systematically tortured. Trayvon Martin’s murder…June 2022Social/Structural Determinants, Isms and Phobias, Racism
