Capitol Idea! is the annual happy-hour fundraiser for CAP’s Public Policy & Advocacy program, which advocates at the local, state, and federal levels for public policies that promote the health and wellness of people living with HIV, LGBTQ+ communities, and people of color. At this year’s event, we’ll present CAP’s 2023 Advocacy Award to one of our legislative champions, Oregon State Representative Dacia Grayber; celebrate CAP’s victories in 2023; and preview the fights to come.
