TAKE ACTION: Four Days Left to Stop Doomsday Budget

Less than a week remains until the General Assembly adjourns on Sunday, May 31 - and we need your help. The proposed cuts to HIV/AIDS services loom large but our elected officials cannot agree on tax reform that will sustain these critical services.  Even if you've already sent a fax or letter to your legislators, Please call your state senator and representative today with this important message: 

"My name is ___ and I'm a constituent. I am calling to ask my representative (or senator) to please not leave Springfield until AIDS services are fully funded.  Without modest and fair tax increases, the state will be forced to cut vital HIV care, prevention, and housing.  Please don't let that happen."

TAKE ACTION NOW!

It's inspiring how our community has come together to protect the well-being of all people living with and at risk for HIV/AIDS. We thank the more than 1,000 individuals who responded with letters and faxes to their legislators, and organized their communities to do the same. 

KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!  If state legislators don't enact progressive tax reforms to balance the budget, people with and at risk for HIV will experience substantial service cuts.  With more than 44,000 Illinoisans living with HIV and 3,000 new infections each year, now is not the time to cut back on essential HIV health and human services.
