Proud and grateful for the many people who fought back against the proposed HIV funding cuts in the NYC budget. Thank YOU for saving vital programs like The Undetectables! @ny1 @housingworks

@housingworks, headquartered in #Brooklyn, is expressing relief that millions in proposed city cuts to HIV programs was restored, allowing its “Undetectables” program to continue to help thousands of HIV-Positive New Yorkers. #AroundTheBoroughs @Sherwoodstock #ny1

BREAKING: We’re proud to be with @HealthGAP occupying the D.C. office of @SpeakerMcCarthy calling on him to PASS PEPFAR NOW.

This global AIDS program has saved 25 million lives. We need a CLEAN 5-YEAR REAUTHORIZATION from Congress.

@tntimi Praying for you and a speedy recovery boo! 🙏🏽

Yesterday, the US Attorney for the Southern District made a statement threatening to “take enforcement action” against NYC’s only two overdose prevention centers.

This would cost lives. @GovKathyHochul needs to authorize overdose prevention centers ASAP.

@oni_blackstock https://t.co/g2Fe6GTZSD Fenton is great!

Today we gathered at our Keith D. Cylar Community Health Center to remember our co-founder Keith Cylar on the anniversary of his passing.

Keith was a movement leader, a harm reductionist, and a visionary pleasure activist. His life and work continues to inspire us.

The Coalition on Positive Health Empowerment (COPE) rejected ⁦@GovKathyHochul⁩’s attendance at this year’s Juneteenth festival, citing the impact her 340B carveout will have on minority communities’ access to safety net healthcare https://t.co/i3qULMTQoH

“It’s unfortunate that on this Friday morning honoring International Day of Transgender Visibility, I have to stand here and remind @GovKathyHochul the dishonor she is committing against [the trans community].” -Bo-Andrea Bogats

@GovKathyHochul it’s not too late to #CanceltheCarveOut

@tntimi @AASawyer @KevinTolsonJr @ezez_ @MsPurpleRainJCJ He lying. A tomato fell on his pinky toe one day and ever since then he claims to be "allergic"

[Tony Simone @tonysimone]

💯 agree with @NYCMayor. The 340B program is a vital source of funding for hospitals and clinics that serve our LGBTQ communities. The carve-out must be repealed! #CanceltheCarveOut

[Housing Works @housingworks]

Thank you to Assembly Health Chair @AmyPaulin for introducing A5911 to protect community healthcare.

We need a state budget that includes this compromise— not an April 1 fiscal cliff that would slash healthcare services, cost jobs, and cost lives.

[Gustavo Rivera @NYSenatorRivera]

340B healthcare providers and I were energized that a modified version of my bill S.5136 was included in the Senate One House. My proposal can safeguard safety-net providers and their vulnerable patients and protect pharmacies from PBMs and burdensome administrative costs.

[Housing Works @housingworks]

NEW: @NYCHealthCommr writes that the impending 340B carveout would disproportionately impact Black and Latino New Yorkers, and would cost @NYCHealthSystem at least $123 million a year. ⚠️

It’s not too late for our lawmakers to save our safety net! https://t.co/0Ii1mJ5riI

[Archie @archiejaoMD]

We are fighting to preserve funding for the healthcare of low-income New Yorkers. 340 saves lives. @housingworks @CallenLorde @apichachc @CHCANYS @KathyHochul @NYSenatorRivera

[Housing Works @housingworks]

BREAKING: Housing Works CEO Charles King, East New York Medical Director Dr. Archie Jao, and colleagues are arrested at today’s health budget hearing in Albany.

They’re protesting @GovKathyHochul’s carveout targeting 340B healthcare providers. More info: https://t.co/yKLGjECvMO

[Housing Works @housingworks]

We also thank our champions @SenatorCCleare, @votejgr, and @HarryBBronson for speaking up yesterday to support community health centers. 💌

The 340B carveout would hurt safety net healthcare and cost hundreds of jobs. @GovKathyHochul, have a heart and support our compromise! 💔
