Cascade AIDS Project (CAP)
Mission: Lead efforts to prevent new HIV infections, care for people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, educate communities to eliminate stigma and shame and advocate for immediate action in combating the pandemic.
Vision: Cascade AIDS Project strives for a future where, absent a cure:
- New HIV infections are eliminated.
- Those who are already living with HIV/AIDS manage it well as a chronic disease.
- All people assume responsibility for eliminating stigma, preventing new infections and supporting those who are positive.
- Services are innovative, culturally relevant and proven effective.
Manifesto: CAP is about change. Changing people's thoughts and actions in the face of an ever-changing world. CAP is a collection of luminaries who have come together to create a stronger light. Not quietly going about their business, but inspiring people to act. CAP is a badge for those who believe there's a better way and who are willing to charge ahead and fight to see it happen. CAP is about hope. Hope that the efforts of a likeminded group can stem the tide of inertia and ignorance and reveal the power of passion. CAP is about being charged with a mission to move > ever forward > and radiate an electricity into the community that simply cannot be ignored.
