$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. www.fcaaids.org/news/fcaa-st...

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.
