Illinois general assembly

Save Our State, Lobby Days 2011 is upon us and we’re gearing up fast! The AIDS Foundation of Chicago is hoping to send as many AIDS advocates as possible to the 2011 HIV/AIDS Lobby Days in Springfield on March 2, 2011, but times are tough and we’re anticipating a decrease in the number of scholarships we are able to offer this year.

The Illinois House Appropriations-Human Services Committee will hold a hearing on Friday, January 22, 2010 Time 10:00 AM in Room 16-504 James R. Thompson Center  on ADAP funding. The meeting is open to the public and you are encouraged to attend, but arrive early as space is limited.

On May 31, the Illinois General Assembly concluded the 2009 legislative session by passing a budget that cuts funding to HIV/AIDS and human services by 50% or more. The AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) will rally alongside thousands of advocates from across the human services sector on Thursday, June 18, at 11:30 a.m.
