Statement on violent attacks at the U.S. Capitol

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) condemns in the strongest possible terms the violent attacks that transpired at the U.S. Capitol. We reject these threats to the democratic process and join calls for those involved to be held accountable for their dangerous and lawless behavior. EGPAF stands with the incoming Biden-Harris administration and with the U.S. Congress. We must see a peaceful transition of power in the coming days. Unifying leadership is needed now more than ever.

As an organization dedicated to the health, well-being, and equity of children, youth, and families across the globe – regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation, or national or ethnic origin – we are committed to transcending the deep divisions in the U.S. and remain resolute in our fight to achieve an AIDS-free generation.
