We believe healthcare is a right for every American.

But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies.

Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures.

Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives.

This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.

Congress and the courts won’t save us. We are the only ones who can save us. Our next national effort is to train 1 million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we stop an authoritarian takeover.

Linda Gail Bekker’s models are terrifying. And given illegal termination Feb 26 of 90% of USAID programs (eliminating not only halting all PEPFAR programs running through USAID), we are a giant leap closer to them.

This is a crime against humanity. They’re stealing our money and killing people.

"We report that eliminating PEPFAR would lead to 601,000 HIV-related deaths and 565,000 new HIV infections in South Africa alone over 10 years. These are the projections for just one country."

Across 55 countries, >20 million people get HIV treatment via PEPFAR.
We tried to quantify the impact of abrupt PEPFAR cuts. The results startled even us
A peer reviewer questioned the premise of our study into the potential impact of abruptly ending PEPFAR funding. Then it happened.
