	"description": "You’re Cordially Invited to Global Peer Support Day: Advocacy Speed Dating This isn’t your average policy meeting—it’s Advocacy Speed Dating! Imagine elected officials and their staff rotating through tables like a matchmaking mixer, but instead of romantic sparks, they’ll encounter powerful stories from volunteers whose lives have been shaped by HIV, homelessness, drug use, systemic racism, and trauma. Each conversation is a chance to connect, educate, and inspire action. Volunteers will share firsthand how proposed federal budget cuts threaten the very services that help them survive and thrive. These are not just statistics—they’re lived realities. And they deserve to be heard. Why Lived Experience Matters? People with lived experience are the experts. Their stories reveal the human impact of policy decisions and offer insight that no spreadsheet or data can capture. When those most affected speak directly to those in power, change becomes not just possible—but personal. What to Expect Speed Dating for Change: Quick, meaningful exchanges between volunteers and officials to spark understanding and accountability. Policy &amp; Funding Updates: Hear directly from stakeholders about what’s at risk and what’s being done. Food, Drinks &amp; Community Vibes: Because advocacy is better with snacks and solidarity.",
