Elton John and Brandi Carlile Unite to Raise $1 Million to Offset Trump Cuts in HIV/AIDS Relief Funding


Elton John and Brandi Carlile announced a campaign to raise $1 million to offset recent cuts to HIV/AIDS funding by the Trump Administration.

“Our mission is more important than ever – we refuse to leave anyone behind – and I’m so fortunate that Brandi is not only a wonderful collaborator and artist, but a dear friend who shares my vision of a world where HIV care is prioritized and protected.” This emergency initiative will help Elton John AIDS Foundation’s partners maintain essential services following significant cuts in funding due to the termination of USAID support. The Rocket Response Fund will direct resources to reopen clinics, restore access to essential medications, and maintain prevention services, according to the announcement.
