Today in D.C., our Housing Works and other healthcare advocates staged a powerful civil disobedience at Peter Marocco’s office—the architect behind USAID’s shutdown. Ten arrests were made as we stood up for justice. We are not backing down. Marocco has blood on his hands.
11 global health advocates including veteran AIDS activists and fired USAID workers got arrested outside a closed door meeting with Peter Marocco highlighting his role in the international aid freeze impacting millions worldwide including people living with HIV/AIDS.
#happeningnow protest outside @HouseForeignGOP where Pete Marocco is giving a brief to lawmakers about USAID
“Marocco has blood on his hands, unfreeze aid now”
.@RepMcCaul comes out of briefing and said Marocco claimed they are implementing the waivers, “but not fully.”
What does that mean?
“I don’t know.” Said it was so loud from the protesters he couldn’t hear
HAPPENING NOW: AIDS activists and fired USAID workers perform a sit-in outside a closed door meeting with Peter Marocco, the Trump cabinet member behind the global aid freeze.
The Bureau for Global Health identified dozens and dozens of contracts it deemed 'lifesaving' and Peter Marocco personally slashed 90% of them. These cuts are already killing people. Illegal, immoral.
For my final post on X (for the foreseeable future), covering a protest at Cannon House Office Building for @WashBlade. Activists arrested following protest against cuts to PEPFAR and USAID.
More than two dozen people protesting the #foreignaid freeze have been forced from the Cannon congressional building in zip-tie handcuffs, a protest that occurred the same day the Trump administration filed an appeal to continue blocking foreign assistance funding.
One month after Trump's deadly and illegal stop-work order freezing humanitarian aid, we are demanding Congress use its power to save millions of lives. Inaction condemns countless people to death.
Trump & @SecRubio: No more defying court orders! Restart AIDS funding now!
