Coalition of Latino, African American, and Asian Leaders Partner With Health Care Providers to Request State Funds to Tackle Growing HIV Cases in Communities of Color - Los Angeles

“In response to the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic among women and men of color, a coalition of Latino, African American, and Asian legislators, health care providers, and activists come together to expose the “HIV/AIDS Health Care Disparities” in the region. The coalition calls for new strategies to build awareness around HIV/AIDS testing.

State Chair of the Health Committee in the Assembly, Mervyn Dymally (D-Compton), is spearheading these efforts, joined by Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles), Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero (D-East Los Angeles), Assemblymember Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles), Assemblymember
Michael Eng (D-Monterey Park), and California Board of Equalization Judy Chu. In addition, the coalition has proposed an increase in state funding to reduce HIV cases in communities of color.”
