Jabari Baymon manages Community Health PIER, which focuses on health equity by testing for HIV and connecting individuals to treatment in the Mississippi Delta. Recent federal budget proposals from the Trump administration threaten to withhold over $11 billion in public health funding, particularly affecting HIV services in the South.

The proposed cuts also aim to eliminate initiatives focused on minority communities and mental health support.
