Palma, AIDS Activists Attack Bloomberg AIDS Funding Cuts
With a month to go before Mayor Bloomberg must finalize the city budget, AIDS activists sent up a rallying cry outside City Hall this morning, demanding the mayor take more than $5 million in cuts off the table.
“In this city, in one of the richest cities in the world, for the mayor to go after services for people with AIDS is just beyond the pale,” said Matt Lesieur, director of public policy at VillageCare.
Council Member Annabel Palma, meanwhile, pledged her support for the programs on the chopping block. “This budget cannot be passed without this funding in place,” she said, standing next to Council Member Daniel Dromm. “It’s a long and hard fight, but not one I’m willing to give up.”

Action Alert: Urge Secretary Clinton to Address Housing in Next Week’s Speech to the UN
International AIDS housing activists are on the verge of a major breakthrough, and we need your help to seal the deal!
We received word last week that a draft of a forthcoming UN Declaration on HIV/AIDS includes housing as part of an “effective global response to HIV.” This groundbreaking step would boost activists’ efforts to convince world governments to provide housing to the poor as part of a comprehensive strategy to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS.
The declaration will be released at the June 8 UN High Level Meeting on AIDS. Let our U.S. international representatives know that you support inclusion of housing in the declaration!
Call Secretary of State Clinton at the State Department at 202-647-4000 and …

Haitian AIDS Activist to Address UN High Level Meeting
Haiti was conspicuously neglected at last summer’s International AIDS Conference, so it was especially gratifying that Haitian AIDS activist Esther Boucicault received an invite last week to speak at the United Nations High Level Meeting on AIDS.
Boucicault, the first person to discuss her HIV-positive status in the media in Haiti, plans to use her global soapbox to focus the world’s attention on the looming threat to Haiti’s hard-won AIDS treatment and prevention infrastructure and nascent supportive services.
“We need housing, jobs and food or we run the risk of seeing the work of so many years tomber à l’eau, fall overboard,” Boucicault said. “HIV is not just about medication.”
