Black health advocacy group calls for more Illinois tax dollars for HIV care – Center Square

Black Leadership Advocacy Coalition for Healthcare Equity (BLACHE) Board Chair Creola Hampton claims the state is withholding funds that were promised four years ago. “You cannot justify 96 percent of your budget going to White-led organizations,” said Hampton. “You're not going to cut funding for them, but funding that was promised to Black-led organizations that were promised the funding, it’s called a default of contract. We should be suing the state.”
