SUMMARY:Forward in SYNChronicity through Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Luncheon will be served at this plenary. \nMeet the challenges of today’s policy landscape with actionable strategies for igniting and sustaining change. This closing plenary session will examine how advocacy at different levels of the healthcare and prevention continuum can better move in concert together. Leading advocates will examine how policy change and service delivery can move together—from national strategy to community implementation. Drawing on experience from community organizing to global policy leadership\, the session will focus on how coordinated advocacy turns uncertainty into durable systems change—and where misalignment continues to slow prevention and care delivery and long-term sustainability. \nThis plenary session will engage participants in advocacy across HIV\, HCV\, STIs\, Drug User\, and LGBTQ Health\, Immunocompromised Communities\, and Health Equity\, and closes SYNC 2026 with a clear call to action as we move Forward in SYNChronicity through advocacy. \nLearning Objectives\n\nAssess how coordinated advocacy across federal\, state\, local\, and global levels shapes prevention and care delivery in today’s environments.\nExplain how policy advocacy is carried into practice—and where gaps in that translation continue to constrain system sustainability\, both long and short-term.\nEngage effectively in federal\, state\, local\, and global decision-making\, knowing where prevention and care delivery decisions are made and how advocates and providers can shape outcomes before disruptions.
