Advocacy Day: Join the movement for equity and justice in Illinois!

Each year, AFC brings together community members to meet with elected officials and discuss HIV, housing and other issues related to the health and well-being of individuals and communities.

On Advocacy Day, we sent a united message to our state elected officials in support of HIV prevention and treatment, housing as healthcare, and advancing health equity.  You can still join our movement!  Take action:

• Visit the 2024 Illinois HIV Advocacy Action Center to add your voice!
• Sign up for text alerts to get messages from our advocates and learn ways you can make an impact.

Thank you to all who supported Advocacy Day 2024.  We are especially thankful for this message from Governor Pritzker:

We are thankful for additional messages of support from:

• State Senator Mike Simmons
• State Representative Kelly Cassidy
• State Representative Hoan Huynh
