Caucus Tuesday, February 5!
February 5 is super Tuesday!!! Unlike a primary election where you go to a polling place and complete a ballot, Minnesota’s precinct caucuses are structured discussions with your neighbors about the candidates and party platforms. You can decide which political party’s caucus you attend, and you help decide the issues and candidates for that party.
You can find out your caucus location by visiting the Secretary of State’s Caucus Finder.
The Minnesota AIDS Project has been a leader in the Coalition for Responsible Sex Ed. One of the efforts promoted by this coalition is a resolution on sex education. Click here to view the resolution.

Register for the HIV Action Network Open House and AIDS Action Day!
HIV Action Network Open House
What is public policy? Why should I care? What can I do? What legislation will be moving this legislative session? Who decides?
These are all great questions and they all have answers. Attend a HIV Action Network open house (day or evening) on Wednesday, February 27 to get the answers to these questions and more. Did we mention the pizza? Lunch/dinner will most definitely be served!!!
