The movement working to save democracy isn't who you think it is - Philea To stand up for democracy and rights in the face of the anti-gender movement, we must be just as coordinated, just as intersectional and have just as long term a vision as they do.

FCAA firmly believes that HIV work is democracy work. It's why we're committed to convening donors to tackle shared challenges. Read this great piece on @philea.bsky.social by Julia Lukomnik from FCAA member @aidsfonds.bsky.social bit.ly/3KAKYRF

💡Data-driven giving
💡Bold, flexible funding

EXCLUSIVE: Trump Uses Reagan-Era Policy to Ban Taxpayer-Funded Gender-Transition Surgeries The Trump administration intends to expand the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits taxpayer funding for abortions overseas.

From @avac.org 's always brilliant Global Health Watch: The inclusion of gender affirming care & DEI continues this Administration’s ongoing mischaracterization of existing foreign assistance programs, & attacks on programs that are trans inclusive or seek to address racial and gender disparities.

Targeting OSF, Trump Aims for a Chilling Effect on Liberal Funders The Department of Justice’s apparent move to begin a criminal investigation of the Open Society Foundations has prompted some condemnation from funding leaders.

A graphic with a quote in the center: “The unwavering commitment of FCAA members, HIV advocates, and allies helped to ensure PEPFAR didn’t endure further cuts and can continue to support HIV services for many of the world’s most impacted communities. However, this victory comes against a backdrop of clawbacks of already appropriated funds across a wide range of global health, humanitarian, and foreign assistance programs.” Read FCAA’s full statement on the Recissions Act of 2025.

$400M saved. Billions more slashed. The U.S. Congress has approved a recissions package that guts global health & humanitarian aid. While PEPFAR was spared, significant funding for other programs was clawed back. It’s time for public and private leaders to step up.

"The truth is there is no way for philanthropy to make up for the cuts from the federal government," [Masen] Davis said. "I suspect we will see new infections rise within 18 months, which is heartbreaking."

FDA approves new twice-yearly HIV shot. What to know The FDA approved Gilead's HIV prevention drug lenacapavir, a twice-a-year injectable medication that clinical trials show prevents new infections.

Great piece from @thirdwavefund.bsky.social via @ncrpcommunity.bsky.social We need funders to get closer to the ground, to trust the leadership of people who live what they’re funding & to let go of the paternalism that frames sex workers as beneficiaries instead of experts. ncrp.org/2025/06/sex-...
