Help Harry support HIPS
HIPS is on the frontlines of health equity, racial justice, LGBTQ equality, and anti-oppression in DC. Since 1993, we've promoted the health, rights and dignities of people on the streets of Washington, DC--working directly with sex workers and drug users by providing them with the services they need to survive, be it safer sex supplies or a place to do laundry; In addition, HIPS is the most comprehensive organization serving homeless LGBTQ individuals in Washington DC. I joined the board this year and could not be prouder to help serve this critical institution in the District.
We believe that those engaged in sex work, sex trade, and drug use should be able to live healthy, self-determined, and self-sufficient lives free from stigma, violence, criminalization or oppression. We achieve this through engaging sex workers, drug users and our communities in challenging structural barriers to health, safety, and prosperity.
In an era when healthcare for all is at risk and of increased policing in our cities, HIPS is standing arm and arm with our clients to provide them with stigma free and low barrier services that affirm their human rights. Donate now to stand with them too.
