Thank you, Rep. Friedman for your support!
Great to be at @aplahealth.bsky.social with @lalgbtcenter.bsky.social to celebrate a major win — nearly $20M in HIV prevention funds finally released after the Trump Admin’s reckless freeze.

This is what public pressure can do. We fought back — and we’re not done.
