New year, same fight to end extreme poverty and preventable disease.
It’s the start of a busy year in Washington, DC but, as 2024 gets underway, Congress still has one thing left to do from last year – reauthorize PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
PEPFAR has helped save 25 million lives from HIV/AIDS since it was established in 2003, making it one of the most valuable tools we have in our fight to end this preventable disease for good. Its authorization expired in 2023 and – while the program can continue its work for now – Congress will need to officially ensure the program is renewed.
ONE activists and staff braved rain and wind to deliver a sweet treat and a reminder to lawmakers that PEPFAR must be reauthorized in 2024!
