Trump Cuts Deal A Blow To HIV/AIDS Prevention In Chicago
Update: 2025-08-20
Description
Since HIV and AIDS were first declared an epidemic in the 1980s, numerous non-profit, private, and federal organizations have been created to combat the disease.
But many Black-LED HIV and AIDS organizations struggle to cover operating costs as they work on prevention, education, and case management.
As the Trump Administration makes drastic cuts to HIV/AIDS prevention funding, organizations that serve the communities on the frontlines of this crisis face an uncertain future.
On today’s Reset, we hear about the current state of the HIV-AIDS fight in Chicago, and why we see a funding gap between Black-led and other organizations.
Today’s panel: Timothy Jackson, director of policy and advocacy for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago; and Hannah Peewee, associate director of communications for Taskforce Prevention and Community Services.
