Advocacy

Speaking Out

As part of Frannie Peabody Center’s commitment to  advocating for those  affected by HIV/AIDS in Maine, the agency provides testimony and statements at the state and national level. The organization is also an active member of a number of community coalitions and advocacy bodies including Maine’s HIV Advisory Committee and the National HIV/AIDS Housing Coalition.

Federal Funding for HIV Services

Federally funded HIV/AIDS programs have long held bipartisan support and are the tools we rely on to support the health and well-being of people living with HIV as well as preventing HIV transmission. We encourage you to share these materials with others and educate your networks on the importance of these programs.
