Working to end homelessness & AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts.
A group of NYers were just arrested at the State Capitol during a peaceful protest calling on @GovKathyHochul to provide statewide housing assistance for people with HIV/AIDS.
*Unstable housing is the single strongest predictor of failed HIV treatment.*

This week we joined @popdemoc at the Save Our Healthcare March to fight GOP's plan to gut Medicaid by $880B—risking care for 80M Americans and funneling tax breaks to billionaires. We demand healthcare for all! #SaveOurHealthcare#MedicaidMatters
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.
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.
HAPPENING NOW: AIDS activists disrupt USAID hearing demanding a full restoration of #PEPFAR, a global AIDS program that has saved over 26M lives. “PEPFAR SAVES LIVES! RESTORE AIDS FUNDING NOW!”
NYC has been shortchanged for healthcare funding for too long!
Thank you to Acting Commissioner Morse for joining @votejgr@NYSenatorRivera@Lynn4NYC in the fight for this common sense reform. 💰
Article 6 provides critical public health funding for NYC. Right now, NYC’s reimbursement rate for essential health services is 16% less than the rest of the state. Equal support is vital for the health and well-being of New Yorkers.

For years, NYC & by extension @nycHealthy has suffered a 2019 Cuomo cut to our city public health $. NYC was the only one who got cut.
Article 6 $ supports critical programs NYC needs to combat health crises. This is unjust and dangerous. It must be restored.
Thank you, @pozmagazine, for highlighting our powerful demonstration in DC urging the reauthorization of #PEPFAR. This fight is about saving lives—we must act now! 🗣️📢 Read more: https://t.co/DQCUMzXpLN
Protests have erupted outside of the State Department in Washington, DC, over Trump's executive order freezing foreign aid, which has crippled @PEPFAR and interrupted access to HIV treatment refills to up to 220,000 people per day, per an @amfAR estimate.
Sending love & power to VOCAL-NY leader Asia Betancourt for standing w @housingworks & AIDS Activists to stop Trump & Rubio for denying 20M ppl lifesaving meds!
ACT UP
