Advocates for Youth, Hope in a Box Announce Collaboration

Today, Advocates for Youth announced it has partnered with Hope in a Box to own and operate the LGBTQ+-inclusive curriculum-to-classroom program. As book bans and curriculum restrictions increasingly target LGBTQ+-affirming content in schools, the collaboration between Advocates for Youth and Hope in a Box will ensure educators and librarians across the country have access to inclusive curriculum guides and toolkits. 

Advocates for Youth Calls on Congress to Save HIV Funding

With a funding deadline looming, Advocates for Youth urgently calls on Congress to save HIV funding. House Republicans proposed massive cuts totalling $767 million to federal HIV/AIDS funding that sustains Ryan White Program, the Minority AIDS Initiative, and the Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Initiative, which includes a proposed national PrEP program.

Statement on the President’s FY25 Budget

Advocates for Youth welcomes President Biden’s FY25 budget proposal, which demonstrates strong commitment to comprehensive sex education, reproductive healthcare and abortion access, HIV funding, and young people’s mental and behavioral wellbeing. 

Statement on Fifth Circuit Decision in Deanda v. Becerra

Advocates for Youth is extremely disappointed to learn the court held that the Title X statute’s confidentiality protections do not preempt or supersede Texas’s parental consent law. We are however glad that the Fifth Circuit reversed the lower court’s order vacating a 2021 federal regulation that explicitly prohibits Title X providers from requiring parental consent and declined to rule as to whether the regulation preempts the Texas law. 

A Win for the Young People of Florida

This court settlement is progress and an important win for teachers, students and advocates in Florida. We need to get rid of transphobic and homophobic laws in Florida and every state that has them on the books to ensure all young people see themselves represented in the classroom and in curriculum.
