Protest Held in Washington, D.C., by the Save HIV Funding Campaign - San Francisco Bay Times
"The systems supporting HIV prevention, treatment, and care were built with bipartisan support over decades, and weakening these programs puts vulnerable communities at risk."
"Dismantling the public health model pioneered by the HIV response could have dire consequences for how the U.S. addresses large-scale health emergencies."
A symbolic funeral protest and celebration of life service took place on March 16, 2026, in Washington, D.C., organized by the Save HIV Funding Campaign. Participants included long-term HIV survivors, health advocates, and community leaders who raised concerns about the instability in HIV funding across the U.S. Speakers emphasized the importance of maintaining systems built with bipartisan support, warning that cuts to these programs threaten vulnerable communities and undermine a public health model essential for responding to health emergencies.
