Responding to the Monkeypox Virus Outbreak

Cosponsored by Funders Concerned about AIDS and Funders for LGBTQ Issues

Named a public health emergency in the U.S. in early August, the monkeypox virus continues to disproportionately impact the LGBTQ community, particularly men who have sex with men, as well as those living with HIV. This webinar brought together activists, researchers, and funders to discuss the critical role philanthropy can play in addressing stigma, supporting prevention outreach and vaccine equity, as well as providing unrestricted support to community-led organizations engaged in the response.
