Advocacy

HIV and AIDS services exist because people infected and affected by the disease stood up for themselves and the people they love. Action Wellness was founded in 1986 by a group of brave volunteers who wanted to make a difference.  That power still exists today and we encourage you to know your rights and take action!

Learn about advocacy and VOTE!

Know your rights!

If you are formerly incarcerated, awaiting trial or serving time for a misdemeanor, you are still able to vote, as long as you are released from prison and not in a halfway house or correctional facility on pre-release status.

You may still vote even if you do not have a permanent address. You may use the address of a shelter program with whom you have an established relationship with. To establish a temporary address for voting purposes, visit Broad Street Ministry (215-735-4847) at 315 S. Broad Street, Monday – Friday, 11:30am-1:30pm and Wednesday, 4:00pm-6:00pm.
