What is C2EA and what do we do?
The Campaign to End AIDS (C2EA) is a diverse, exciting coalition of people living with HIV & AIDS, their advocates and their loved ones. Together, we're demanding that our leaders exert the political will to stop the epidemic, in the U.S. and abroad, once and for all.
Please consider signing your organization on to the comments to be delivered to The Presidential Advisory Council on HIV & AIDS (PACHA) on Wednesday during the public comment period.
The comments call attention to the restoration of the ban on the use of federal funding for syringe exchange. It notes that President Obama included language allowing federal funding for syringe exchange with input from local health and law enforcement authorities. The comments ask PACHA, in its advisory role, to send a letter to President Obama to ask him to make syringe exchange a top issue during appropriations negotiations. Unfortunately, the time to sign on is very short. We would like to have all sign ons complete by 4p EST/1p PST May 15 – a little more than 24 hours.
