    BUILDING ACTIVIST POWER: HEALTH GAP BUILDS PEOPLE POWER IN THE UNITED STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD TO ACHIEVE OUR CAMPAIGN GOALS. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH DIRECTLY AFFECTED COMMUNITIES, EXPANDING THEIR CAPACITY FOR ADVOCACY IN PRIORITY AREAS INCLUDING ACCESS TO MEDICINES, HEALTH JUSTICE, HUMAN RIGHTS, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE GLOBAL AIDS RESPONSE, AND SECURING SUFFICIENT GLOBAL AIDS FUNDING.
  2. #2 $0
    FUNDING THE FIGHT: HEALTH GAP IS ONE OF THE FEW GLOBAL ADVOCACY RGANIZATIONS BOLDLY FIGHTING FOR EXPANDED GLOBAL HIV INVESTMENTS ON SEVERAL FRONTS. IN THE U.S., HEALTH GAP MAKES THE CASE FOR INCREASED GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT IN THE GLOBAL AIDS RESPONSE DIRECTLY TO ELECTED OFFICIALS AND POLICYMAKERS ON CAPITOL HILL AND IN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE U.S. HAS A MORAL OBLIGATION TO INVEST IN THE GLOBAL HIV RESPONSE, NOT OUT OF CHARITY, BUT BECAUSE COMMUNITIES IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH HAVE BEEN MADE MORE VULNERABLE THROUGH DECADES OF U.S. TRADE AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL POLICY DECISIONS. HEALTH GAP WORKS TO STRENGTHEN AND SUPPORT MOVEMENTS IN LOW AND MIDDLEINCOME COUNTRIES AS LOCAL ACTIVISTS PUT PRESSURE ON THEIR GOVERNMENTS TO INCREASE INVESTMENTS IN THEIR NATIONAL HIV RESPONSES.

How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community-Led Advocacy
    methodology: community-led advocacy
    By centering affected communities and their lived experience in advocacy efforts, we build more authentic and effective movements for health justice, because grassroots leadership increases legitimacy, relevance, and sustained engagement.
  • Structural Accountability Advocacy
    methodology: structural accountability advocacy
    By framing U.S. investment in the global HIV response as a moral and historical obligation, we generate political and ethical responsibility for redress, because acknowledging past harms strengthens the case for sustained, justice-oriented funding and policy change.
