Read MoreIt’s a rare gift when our work can teach us gratitude. If we’re fortunate, most of us go to work in the mornings knowing we’ll have a home to return to at the end of the day. We’ll have food on the table. If we become sick, we’ll be able to see a doctor. With good care, we can get well.

TRUTH: "It doesn't matter who you are or where your district is--HIV affects EVERYBODY. And that's why it's so important to fund HIV services." ALCC is proud to maintain a strong partnership with AIDS Foundation of Chicago.

Strong relationships between AFC and allies in the Illinois state legislature are the backbone for maintaining funding for the essential services AFC provides to thousands of people across the state.
Two of those proponents, Representatives Thaddeus Jones (left) and Rita Mayfield (right), have a passion for the HIV/AIDS movement, and their records prove it. Working closely with AFC’s Policy team, led by Ramon Gardenhire (center), Jones and Mayfield led the fight to secure an additional $1 million in funding for HIV/AIDS services in the 2015 state budget.
