Going the Extra Mile is a new policy guide developed by GEC with support from @GileadSciences , designed to support legislators in high-income countries in pressuring their governments to step up commitments to the HIV response.

USAID represents less than 1% of the national budget.
Every day, the employees there work on behalf of the American people to keep us safe and promote our values and interests.
They don't deserve to be treated like shit by weirdo Elon and his sidekick Don the Con.
Rep. Jim @RepMcGovern (D-MA) to USAID employees: "I'm sorry that you have to put up with this offensive bullshit coming out of this White House."
Rep. Jack Patrick Lewis retweeted
We welcome the US emergency waiver to allow HIV treatment under PEPFAR to continue, but remain concerned about the funding freeze's impact on wider HIV-related services and future support for the world's most vulnerable people. We urge the US Congress to secure PEPFAR's future.

Not having enough doctors diminishes the quality of care for patients, increases healthcare costs with more emergency room visits, and exacerbates healthcare disparities for rural and low-income communities. (2/3)

I would like to thank @MassGovernor for signing these bills into law, as well as @repjohnlawn and my colleagues in the House, along with our partners in the Senate, for getting these significant pieces of legislation across the finish line.
Rep. Jack Patrick Lewis retweeted
The reforms included in these bills will help to ensure that our institutions are equipped to monitor the health care landscape, and to guard against trends and transactions that drive up costs without improving patient outcomes.
Rep. Jack Patrick Lewis retweeted
Today, I joined @MassGovernor, and colleagues from the Legislature, to celebrate two critical health care bills being signed into law that take steps to protect patients, bring down cost growth, and to foster greater stability and accountability within the health care system.

All 351 Massachusetts cities and towns have their flag hanging in the State House, and Framingham just upgraded! It’s the perfect representation of the city’s inspiring history and bright future ahead.
Awesome to unveil the new flag with Mayor Sisitsky, Senate President Spilka, @RepJackLewis, Rep. Gregoire, Rep. @SousafortheCity and residents of Framingham!

Strong gun laws save lives. I’m incredibly proud of the work that we’ve done in Massachusetts to ensure that the Commonwealth will once again have the lowest gun death rate in America.
NEW: We just released our Annual Gun Law Scorecard, which analyzes and grades every state on the strength of their gun laws.
The data is undeniable: States with stronger gun laws have lower gun death rates and more lives saved: giffords.org/scorecard

43 miles. 1.7 million meals. One powerful message: Hunger is a solvable problem.
Proud to join @MonteBelmonte, Andrew Morehouse and his team at @FoodBankWMA, and our community for the 15th March for the Food Bank—raising over $600,000 to fight hunger!
But charity isn’t enough. Congress must strengthen SNAP, WIC, TEFAP, and universal school meals. Let’s #EndHungerNow

Thank you to the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition, the Mass. League of Community Health Centers, and to everyone who helped bring this legislation over the finish line. I’m excited to see the impact it will have on people’s lives. (5/5)

Here in Massachusetts, and around the country, we need more physicians, especially in primary care. The Physician Pathway Act develops a pathway to full licensure for physicians previously authorized to practice medicine outside the United States. (2/5)
