SIGN ON: Over 3,000 Individuals and 119 organizations tell Congress #SaveHIVFunding
PrEP4All and our partners, along with over 3,000 individuals and 119 organizations sent a letter to Congressional leaders to prevent over $700 million in HIV funding cuts as a part of the #SaveHIVFunding campaign.
The letter reads:
On behalf of a wide coalition of HIV and health organizations and advocates, the 119 organizations and 2612 individual signers below (signatures continue to be gathered), including people living with and affected by HIV, respectfully urge you to support the HIV funding levels and report language proposed by the Senate LHHS appropriations subcommittee for HIV funding.
We are deeply concerned that the House LHHS appropriations subcommittee has proposed cutting over $700 million from federal HIV programs in FY25 that are critical to our communities, including eliminating funds specifically designated for the bipartisan Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. Now is the time to ensure that we will not turn our backs on people living with HIV and that we remain committed to our efforts to end HIV as an epidemic by 2030. Should these threats to our progress come to pass, we will miss our national targets to end the epidemic, undermine the successful work of HIV clinics and service organizations across the country, and threaten the lives and wellbeing of communities all across the US.
