The People’s Declaration—currently with over 500 signatories, charts out a number of community priorities and demands—as noted below. Please join The Choice Agenda, The Legacy Project, and a fabulous global panel to discuss moving those demands into actions and accountability.
To date, the discourse surrounding these actions has focused largely on the devastation to grants, dollars, and institutions. Here, we center people instead—the communities who stand to suffer the harshest consequences of these actions. Here, we remind the world that the first letter in HIV stands for human.

PEPFAR launched its “Bridge Planning” process on September 5, with country plans due September 25 and approval by September 30. This fast timeline risks excluding community and civil society voices, despite their critical role in shaping effective, sustainable HIV responses. Reports indicate limited to no community participation in many African partner countries, undermining rights-based, participatory planning.
Eannaso is hosting this emergency webinar to convene stakeholders to strategize collective advocacy for meaningful civil society engagement in this urgent process.

Over the past four decades, HIV research has saved tens of millions of lives through discoveries in HIV treatment and prevention, with the US federal government playing a foundational role in that success. Unprecedented assaults on science and research and the systematic dismantling of federal institutions over the past months risk those accomplishments. These unparalleled budget cuts and project terminations will set the HIV/AIDS response back years, if not decades.
It’s not too late to change that! The commitment and actions of the scientific and advocacy community have been successful in reversing some of these funding decisions and we need to keep up the pressure.
Join us on September 16 starting at 11:00 ET as scientists, researchers, and advocates from around the world describe what has been achieved through decades of federal investments and what we stand to lose. Don’t miss the opportunity to come together in community as we share insights, answer questions, and inspire action.

Since its inaugural convening in Kampala, Uganda in 2009, the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP) has grown into more than just a conference. It has become a global community, a dynamic movement, and a trusted digital platform advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all.
ICFP brings together researchers, governments, advocates, health equity champions, and local communities to celebrate progress, pledge new commitments, and chart the way forward. Rooted in collaboration, inclusivity, innovation, and scientific integrity, it serves as a strategic inflection point for advancing universal access to family planning and reproductive health.
The ICFP 2025 theme, “Equity Through Action: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for All,” reflects the urgency of addressing systemic inequities through innovative solutions and concrete commitments. Participants will have access to a wide range of sessions—from plenaries, panel discussions, and debates to workshops, side events, and networking opportunities—all designed to spark dialogue, strengthen partnerships, and inspire action.
