VOCAL NY

Mission

Voices Of Community Activists & Leaders (VOCAL) is a statewide grassroots membership organization building power among low-income people who are living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, drug use and incarceration, along with the organizations that serve them, to create healthy and just communities. VOCAL NY accomplishes this through community organizing, leadership development, participatory research, public education and direct action.The New York City AIDS Housing Network (NYCAHN) became VOCAL in fall 2010 to better reflect its multi-issue, multi-constituency organizing work in New York’s most marginalized communities.
