TAG condemns the White House’s proposed retroactive $600 million cuts to CDC programs in four states. Because Congress already appropriated these funds, the cuts are illegal and unconstitutional, threatening HIV and public health programs nationwide. Congress must reject these partisan attacks and protect public health funding.
This National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Act Now: End AIDS and TAG uplift the truth: Black people are disproportionately impacted by HIV, and equity-driven solutions are essential. Ending the HIV epidemic requires confronting racism, expanding access to prevention and care, and ensuring that Black communities are centered, visible, and supported in public health efforts.
This year revealed how far this administration is willing to go in undermining public health. The White House refused to recognize World AIDS Day. Global and domestic HIV, TB, and HCV programs were directly threatened, and many were terminated. Senior CDC leaders resigned rather than carry out political firings or oversee the degradation of national vaccine guidance. And in August, a vigilante encouraged by political rhetoric fired nearly 500 rounds into the CDC campus in Atlanta and killed a police officer. The President has still not publicly acknowledged the attack.
