Our Strategic Plan
In May 2024, CHLP embarked on the organization’s first-ever strategic visioning process. The process asked and began to answer a central question: how does CHLP help create a future where people living with HIV and other stigmatized health conditions live freely—without surveillance, discrimination, stigma, violence, or criminalization?
The intention of this process and the strategic plan it produced is to provide clear guidance for mapping CHLP’s activities and efficiently allocating resources over the next four years. It also serves as a living framework for reflection and assessment as our work unfolds within an ever-changing terrain.
A vision, a plan and a celebration
In December 2025, CHLP staff and advisory board members hosted this webinar to introduce the strategic plan and mark the beginning of this exciting new chapter. We are strengthening our focus on our core mission to end the criminalization of HIV and health status while moving boldly into new directions, bringing our legal expertise and abolitionist values to the broader fight for health justice.
This is what we mean when we say...
As a part of the strategic planning process, CHLP developed shared definitions for terms that deepen collective understanding of our work. We then recorded definitions to share as we moe forward in this work together.
Our HIV decriminalization ecology
Within this HIV decriminalization ecology, CHLP is creating a future where people living with HIV and other stigmatized health conditions live freely without surveillance, discrimination, stigma, violence, and criminalization. Where people are met with compassion and the resources and tools to thrive and our communities experience support and investment.
