The Black Leadership AIDS Crisis Coalition (BLACC) is an affinity group of AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Black-American families—and young people in particular—are the highest risk demographic for new HIV cases and AIDS-related deaths in the United States. BLACC is committed to increasing awareness, access to testing and care, and advocacy on behalf of Black-American communities across our nation.

Impulse


Who Is Impulse?
In the summer of 2008, HIV rates were climbing among gay men. Jose Ramos and a group of friends sat in his kitchen in Los Angeles, CA, and wondered, “Why?” Jose approached Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation, who described his concept for Impulse to Jose. Michael challenged Jose to start a social revolution, and with that, Impulse was born!

What Is Impulse?
Impulse United is a volunteer group of active individuals in collaboration with AIDS Healthcare Foundation, whose purpose is to promote sexual & lifestyle wellness using modern social approaches. This federation of chapters shall accomplish this vision by breaking social barriers in communities with such needs.

The prevalence of these issues among LGBTQ individuals is different in each city. We understand that, but we also acknowledge we are living in a global era where together, we can find a solution. This group of volunteers creates campaigns, events, and online content to reach a new generation of LGBTQ individuals who live in a modern and rapidly evolving world.

Impulse is now the largest HIV/Wellness group in the world, comprised entirely of volunteers, and, in the last 12 months, organized over 500 events and over 20 campaigns. Impulse is made up of over 300 volunteers in 25 cities.
