Superheros: Bruce Richman & John Byrne
Bruce Richman & John Byrne inducted into theLove Superhero Hall of Gratitude in October 2016 for their work as founders of Prevention Access Campaign. This important effort aims to accelerate our language and behaviors catching up with the science. In short, PAC is dismantling HIV-related stigma through demanding accurate HIV reporting in the media, supporting correct information being given to patients and their partners about HIV transmission risks, and a launching a popular "undetectable = untransmittable" campaign. U=U is the truth. U=U puts the power in the hands of people, not the public health infrastructure or permission giving platforms rife with isms. U=U demands an end to HIV criminalization. U=U is love. U=U is hope. U=U: the world has been waiting for you. About theLove Superhero Hall of Gratitude“The plain fact is that the world does not need more successful people, but it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane.” David OrrI deeply admire those who "live well in their places." The ordinary and the unsung who offer to the world the very best parts of themselves without expectation. This is a beautiful expression of love in her calm, persistent, generous manner - offering a ripple of change (a metamorphosis) to the world. Inductees to the Love Superhero Hall of Gratitude are caped in recognition of their contributions to a love-filled world.
