The #SaveHIVFunding Campaign: An Urgent Need for Rapid Response

In 2023, the #SaveHIVFunding campaign was launched in response to an unprecedented proposal to cut $767M in federal HIV funding. Ultimately, the defense of critical HIV programs was successful, and all proposed cuts were removed from the final FY24 spending bill. For FY25, new cuts have been proposed, and the campaign has been relaunched. Join this webinar for a discussion on the major threats faced by the HIV field at the federal level, plans to expand the #SaveHIVFunding campaign, and learn how funders can defend federal funding to end the HIV epidemic. Speakers include Michael Chancley of PrEP4All, Joseph Cherabie, of the Washington University-St. Louis, Jenny Collier of the Collier Collective, Noelle Esquire of the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and Mitchell Warren from AVAC.

CDC Injury Center at Risk – What’s Ahead?

Injury is the leading cause of death among people ages 1–44. Since 1993, the Injury Center at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has worked to prevent injury, overdose, suicide, and violence across the lifespan through science and action. Last year, Congress considered legislative proposals to eliminate funding for the Injury Center and similar proposals are likely to be revisited in the new Congress. This webinar will examine the Injury Center’s vital activities, explore potential threats to future capacity, and consider the role of health funders in supporting the Injury Center’s continued ability to track trends, conduct research, raise awareness, and implement prevention programs in partnership with states, localities, tribes, and nonprofit organizations. Speakers include Allison Arwady of the CDC Injury Center, Sharon Gilmartin of the Safe States Alliance, and Julie Morita of The Joyce Foundation.
