We are urging the Chicago Department of Public Health to restore Ryan White Funding to our organization and many others so that we can continue to serve clients who crucially need lifesaving HIV Care and Prevention services.

Join us in addressing the crisis of Chicago's HIV Care system. Funding appropriations have put many organizations and their clients in jeopardy.

Legislators are working throughout this weekend in our state Capitol to finalize policies and funding for our next fiscal year beginning July 1,2026. Advocacy can make a significant difference in the capacity of Black organizations being able to keep staff, provide services, operate in the community. We are resolute in our advocacy and hopeful for a fair and equitable outcome.

Join us as we advocate for equitable funding for HIV Prevention in Black communities. Alderman Ronnie Mosley, 21st Ward ChicagoGyrls In The HOOD FoundationLadies of Virtue, NFP Transforming Lives.

Funding cuts from the Federal government and the Chicago Department of Public Health are putting patients in jeopardy of not receiving medications and healthcare, especially those who are served by organizations that are led by people who are Black, LGBTQ and Women.
Advocating for equitable funding is a responsible action that is necessary in order to serve our communities. That’s why you see us in the news and in civic engagement. It’s our duty.
