Rep. Ruben Gallego Statement on World AIDS Day
PHOENIX, AZ - Today, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) issued the following statement in recognition of World AIDS Day:
"World AIDS Day is both a day of mourning and one of celebration. First, we take the time to honor the memories of those we've lost to HIV/AIDS and to remember the human toll of this devastating illness. Today we also celebrate the major strides that the global health community has made in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We recognize these advancements, and renew our commitment to work together to end this disease once and for all. We must continue to push for funding and policies that will preserve this hard-won progress and make sure that the United States remains a leader in the push for an AIDS-free world."
