Cutting $900 million from global health programs, including $400 million from #PEPFAR, directly undermines U.S. leadership in international health and security efforts, puts lives at risk, & damages America’s standing, influence, and security interests in an interconnected world.

Thank you, Senator @SenKatieBritt, for your leadership at last week's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the #Rescissions package. #PEPFAR saves lives and protects American health. It requires protection, not cuts.

Thank you, Senator @lisamurkowski, for your leadership at last week's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the #Rescissions package. #PEPFAR saves lives and deserves Congressional support. It requires protection, not cuts.

Thank you, @SenatorRounds, for your leadership at last week's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the #Rescissions package. #PEPFAR saves lives and preserves American leadership on the world stage. It requires protection, not cuts.

A study assessing the reductions in funding for #USAID programs, including #PEPFAR, projects that the cuts "could result in an additional 15.2 million AIDS-related deaths, 2.2 million tuberculosis deaths, and 7.9 million child deaths" between 2025-2040 ➡️ ow.ly/Z7eh50WjVhm

Thank you to Former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama for their comments yesterday supporting #USAID and #PEPFAR. Saving lives and growing American soft power continue to be in our national interest. @BarackObama @TheBushCenter @ObamaFoundation

Thank you, @SenMcConnell, for your leadership at last week's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the rescissions package. #PEPFAR saves lives and strengthens America's soft power; it requires protection, not cuts.

Thank you, @SenatorCollins, for your leadership at the Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the rescissions package. #PEPFAR saves lives; it requires protection not cuts.

The admin’s blueprint cherry-picks the aid programs it deems tolerable, parts of PEPFAR, for ex "That’s not how these programs work...pulling out pieces of the program makes everything else completely ineffective" says @BosLisa @InterActionOrg @devex bit.ly/3SnWnEA

Let's set the record straight: PEPFAR protects orphans and vulnerable children. It has made sure 6.6 million OVC & their caregivers had access to nutritious food & education and helped protect them from violence, abuse & neglect. #ProtectPEPFAR globalaidspolicy.org/protectpepfar/

Let's set the record straight: Over the past 20 years, PEPFAR has connected over 7.1 million orphans, vulnerable children & their caregivers with critical care and support services. We must #ProtectPEPFAR.

"AIDS activists pile coffins outside State Dept. to protest PEPFAR cuts: Each coffin was meant to represent 100,000 lives at risk due to cuts to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief." From @devex ➡️ ow.ly/ZbTC50VF0wj

The Trump Administration's dismantling of #PEPFAR & #USAID have led to the shuttering of clinics, disruptions in HIV/AIDS treatment, and layoffs for aid workers across the globe. AVAC's Mitchell Warren spoke w/Positively Aware about the continued impact ➡️ ow.ly/Y0Oa50VF06M
