This legislative session we’ve been hard at work lobbying our representatives to protect funding for services that benefit people living with HIV, including our residents. With millions of dollars in federal funding cuts looming, we’re asking our state to set aside funds to ensure these life-saving programs can continue to operate. Clare Housing staff and residents have testified at Senate and House committees throughout this legislative session.
Alongside our friends from OutFront MN and The Aliveness Project, we headed to the capitol again on May 5th for a powerful Lobby Day. Supporters came together to tell our leaders that all Minnesotans, no matter what we look like or where we come from, belong in prosperous communities with access to HIV care and prevention for years to come!
Here’s some of what we accomplished at HIV on the Hill on May 5th, 2025:
• 37 meetings with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle!
• 75 postcards written to Minnesota state representatives!
• 118 emails sent on behalf of our families and community!
