Please call your members of Congress and ask them to support restoring this administration’s cuts to HIV and PEPFAR funding. While the federal government may not be honoring World AIDS Day, I’m recommitting myself in the fight to end the stigma and finally end the epidemic.

This year, the Trump Administration announced that they won't be recognizing World AIDS Day. This is a callous move – one that sends a dangerous message at an already frightening and uncertain time for our country.

One year ago today, I was invited to the White House to celebrate World AIDS day to honor the lives of those who we have lost to HIV/AIDS.

This afternoon, I was officially sworn in as District 16 Alder! It's an incredible honor to represent my neighbors and serve our communities on the Madison Common Council.
Our city has a lot of challenges and opportunities on the horizon, and I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work.
