Two Dans. One mission. One global conversation that matters. ❤️ This July, activist Dan Glass and award-winning filmmaker Dan Hall are heading to Rio de Janeiro to report live from AIDS 2026, the world's most important gathering on HIV and AIDS. Together they'll be creating Rio Calling — a special podcast series bringing real-time stories, insights and voices from activists, researchers, clinicians and people living with HIV directly from the conference floor to listeners around the world. At a time when HIV funding is under threat, stigma remains a reality, and too many voices from the Global South are still unheard, independent reporting like this has never been more important. They're raising £3,500 to cover flights, accommodation and production costs. Every donation, no matter the size, helps ensure these vital conversations reach the people who need to hear them. If you can give, please donate. If you can't, please share. Together we can help bring the human stories of AIDS 2026 to a global audience and keep the fight against HIV visible, informed and impossible to ignore. ❤️Support the crowdfunder today.
