S5 Ep18: Critical Advocacy: How Civil Society is defending the HIV Response and Global Health
Episode 18
Monday, 12 May, 2025
The upending of US policy by the new presidential administration has collapsed the foundation for global health and the HIV response at every level, from research to program delivery. It’s been a desperate scramble for everyone who cares the lives and wellbeing of those impacted by HIV. Wading into the chaos, all over the world are advocates who began organizing within days, even minutes—as soon as the US government federal executive orders started coming down. Positive change depends on fierce and effective community leadership, and pressuring powerbrokers to do the right thing.) Two veteran global health leaders from civil society talk about how civil society is responding. Amanda Banda is Strategic Advisor to the COMPASS Coalition and Asia Russell is Executive Director of Health Gap, and both are members of CHANGE, a coalition with more than 1,500 people, from organizations in nearly every continent, working in coordination to defend global health and the HIV response. https://avac.org/resource/critical-advocacy/ Key Resources Join weekly CHANGE calls, every Thursday 9 AM Washington DC | 4 PM Nairobi to get involved, send us an email for the link to join: contact.change.2025@gmail.com CHANGE resources to fight back against US government HIV and global health cuts and funding freezes, visit pepfarwatch.org/pepfar-funding-freeze Research Matters – Resources to Protect Research Funding PxWire: May 2025 Despite USG Global Health Collapse, Here Are Several Data Trackers To Support Your Advocacy
