When did you 1st realize that political attacks on Transgender people were distractions? Instead of fixing the financial crisis, Republicans are going after Trans people. This administration and some of our peers hate Trans people. So, let us say it clearly: The HIV Caucus loves Trans people.

If Republicans keep cutting HIV funding, we'll die. And they don't care. Even though it will kill them too. We remember the AIDS Crisis. And we refuse to be dragged back there. You Can Help by Joining The HIV Caucus: www.hivcaucus.org/membership Together, We Will Save the World From HIV.

It's shocking that after so many years of progress, these legislators are trying to drag us back to the AIDS Crisis. It's important to acknowledge that they don't care that this will kill people. Even if it means the people they love will die too. #HIVResist #WeExist #Advocacy

Our rally to save Florida's AIDS Drug Assistance Program continues with a primer on: How to leave a public comment or message, even if you live out of state. Please share far & leave a comment on why we must protect Florida's ADAP program! To protect healthcare access for people w HIV in Florida!

Public comments on Florida's proposed rule change for ADAP qualification are open until March 4th. DeSantis' Department of Health is trying to kick over 11,000 people living with HIV off of ADAP even though they have the money to fund the program. You can comment even if you live out of state!

Made by me. And the HIV funding fight in Florida is not over. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't bothered to click the links or ask for information about the new definition changes... more on that coming soon.

Our policy and communications teams have developed a fantastic one-page explaining what's going on with HIV funding in Florida and why we're continuing to advocate against Governor DeSantis' chicanery. Stay tuned: The fight isn't over.

I didn't watch the video of George Floyd's murder. Nor have I watched the videos depicting Renée Nicole Good & Alex Jeffrey Pretti's executions. The video of Eric Garner's killing still haunts me. And being a Black man, I'm aware that the state will murder you in cold blood & blame you for existing.

This Morning, DHS Agents Beat, Shot, and Killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Meanwhile, seven Democrats just voted for a bill that will boost ICE funding by $10 billion. This is what they voted for. Now Lindsey Graham has introduced a bill to end sanctuary cities. Perhaps they will support him too.

#HIV advocacy has worked again! For FY 2026, Congress just approved: 1. $2.57 billion for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program 2. $1.07 billion for HRSA 3. $1.38 billion for Prevention Source: Bill from the 119th Congress 2D Session for FY 2026. docs.house.gov/billsthiswee...
