"A House bill would cut a further $1 billion from HIV prevention and services to people with the virus; there have already been spending reductions in the millions during the second Trump administration. For decades, federal funds have supported access to preventive care, primary care, mental health services, housing, and lifesaving medications. Cutting HIV programs would greatly reduce access to care for people living with chronic conditions, low-income families, and uninsured communities across the country, notes a press release from the #SaveHIVFunding campaign."
"Peppermint, runner-up in season 9 of RuPaul's Drag Race, is now starring in Netflix's Survival of the Thickest and has performed on Broadway in Head Over Heels, which made her the first out transgender woman to originate a principal role on Broadway. She is also an LGBTQ+ rights advocate, with a particular focus on issues facing Black trans women."

Federal funds have supported preventive care, primary care, mental health services, housing, and lifesaving medications for decades. Cutting HIV programs would reduce access to care for people living with chronic conditions, low-income families, and uninsured communities nationwide. Activists including Javier Muñoz, who has lived with HIV for more than 20 years, and Peppermint, a transgender performer and advocate, will lobby Congress in Washington, D.C., during the U.S. Conference on HIV/AIDS.
