YOU'RE INVITED! PRESS CONFERENCE TO #SAVEHIVFUNDING!

Where: Washington DC - (See Map) Section 8 at U.S. Capitol, Southwest Corner of Constitution Ave. NE & 1st Street Across from Russell Senate Office Building
*Attendees encouraged to wear red for solidarity*
PrEP4All– in partnership with NMAC, AVAC, PrEP in Black America, and a large coalition of national and global HIV organizations– is calling on all HIV activists and USCHA participants to join us for a press conference on Tuesday, September 5th at 4pm to urge Congress to reject catastrophic and unprecedented cuts to domestic HIV programs proposed by the House and to protect funding for the global HIV response.
The House has proposed over $767M in cuts to domestic HIV programs and eliminated funding specifically designated for the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. At the same time, global HIV funding is also in jeopardy. While advocates have been successful in shoring up bipartisan support in the Senate to oppose domestic cuts, it is vital that we continue to unite and insist that any proposal to slash global or domestic HIV funding is categorically unacceptable.
