From the Land of Lincoln to the
Halls of Congress

The AIDS Foundation of Chicago works closely with AIDS advocates across the country in demanding that our nation's leaders do everything possible to stop the epidemic while helping those living with HIV/AIDS. Our statewide coalition has been instrumental in educating Illinois' 22-member congressional delegation and seeking their support for federal leadership on efforts against AIDS. Our sustained advocacy throughout the past 12 years has helped win important federal budget increases for CARE Act services, the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, CDC-funded prevention programs, and AIDS research programs at the National Institute of Health.

This year, we are working vigorously to ensure that federal AIDS-related programs are adequately funded in Fiscal Year 2001 and that Congress continues support for the Ryan White CARE Act program. The CARE Act is the largest and most important source of funds for essential health and social services for people living with HIV/AIDS. LEARN MORE ABOUT CARE ACT ADVOCACY.
