Our efforts informing and engaging government officials on HIV/AIDS
remain crucial ...
Some
of AFC's strongest partnerships have been forged with city, county, state,
and federal officials. Our statewide network comprised of thousands of
constituent supporters helps keep elected and appointed officials informed
with calls, letters, and visits. And yet, much remains to be done. Federal
funding for HIV/AIDS programs has declined in recent years, straining
local systems of prevention and care and adding to the burden placed on
state and municipal governments. We are fortunate to count on a dedicated
group of lawmakers and government officials who tirelessly advocate for
sound public health policy among their colleagues. While too numerous
to name, we thank all of our supporters for their commitment to the fight
against HIV/AIDS. Pictured with AFC Associate Director David Ernesto Munar
are three such individuals: State Representatives Rosemary Mulligan (R-Des
Plaines), Mary Flowers (D-Chicago), and Sara Feigenholtz (D-Chicago).
