250 Fewer People with HIV Identified During Illinois Budget Impasse
CHICAGO, May 26 -- The AIDS Foundation of Chicago issued the following news document:
The three organizations that coordinate HIV prevention services in Illinois outside Chicago - Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, Illinois Public Health Association, and Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago - and the AIDS Foundation of Chicago are outraged to learn that new data from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) found the state budget impasse decreased the number of people newly identified as HIV-positive by nearly 250 people in 2014, 2015 and 2016.

CHICAGO, May 26 -- The AIDS Foundation of Chicago issued the following news document:
The three organizations that coordinate HIV prevention services in Illinois outside Chicago - Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, Illinois Public Health Association, and Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago - and the AIDS Foundation of Chicago are outraged to learn that new data from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) found the state budget impasse decreased the number of people newly identified as HIV-positive by nearly 250 people in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The new IDPH data showsthat the number of HIV tests performed in Illinois decreased by nearly nine percent (to 189,273 in 2016 from 207,889 in 2014) resulting in the identification of 245 fewer people with HIV. In 2014, 215 people with HIV were identified outside Chicago. That number dropped to 107 in 2015 and a mere 78 in 2016.
Illinois last had a complete budget in 2014, and in 2015 operated without a budget for the first half of the calendar year under a Stop Gap appropriations bill from July through December. State general revenue funds, which have been most impacted by the lack of a state budget, support nearly all HIV testing conducted outside the city of Chicago. As a result, most of the undiagnosed people with HIV are living in cities and towns across Illinois, including the Cook County suburbs.
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Illinois General Assembly must recognize this unprecedented stalemate is jeopardizing the lives of Illinoisans. A full-year state budget with adequate revenue is needed immediately to ensure individuals with HIV are identified and linked to care. With fewer resources dedicated for HIV testing, opportunities to identify and link individuals living with HIV to care have significantly decreased.
That 245 people with HIV have not been diagnosed has two major consequences for public health in the state of Illinois:
* These individuals are at greater risk of transmitting HIV to others as they cannot seek their own HIV treatment (which leads to viral suppression and a dramatically lower risk of sexual transmission) and cannot make informed decisions about their sexual behavior.
* Individuals who are diagnosed late are at risk of serious and costly AIDS-related illness, much of which will be paid for by Medicaid.
It costs over $350,000 to provide medical care to a person with HIV over their lifetime.
The IDPH data is especially appalling considering the disproportionate impact of HIV in communities of color, particularly African Americans. Black men are 6.4 times more likely to receive an HIV diagnosis in their lifetime compared to white men; Black women are 18.8 times more likely to contract the virus compared to white women.
It is inexcusable to endanger the lives of our most vulnerable citizens due to a political stalemate. There is no time to waste - we urge Illinois to invest in comprehensive HIV testing and treatment programs to prevent new cases of HIV and link those living with the virus to care.
The lives of Illinoisans are on the line.

NEW YORK, May 25 -- The Toy Industry Foundation issued the following news release:
The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) delivered brand-new toys, games, and costumes this week to local pediatric cancer patients and their families honored by New York Yankees HOPE (Helping Others Persevere & Excel) Week. The Yankees' 9th annual HOPE Week, which shines a spotlight on individuals, families, and organizations worthy of recognition and support, is taking place May 22-26.
During HOPE Week, TIF distributed brand-new playthings to sick children, including an 11-year-old boy from the Dominican Republicwho traveled to the United States for care when he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia, and a group of children currently undergoing treatment for pediatric brain tumors. The playthings were generously donated by local toy companies Cardinal Games, Epoch Everlasting Play, and Rubie's Costumes.
The celebration for the kids and their families took place at Yankee Stadium, where the children, their siblings, and their parents enjoyed special festivities in a fully decorated Yankees Party Suite.
"The Toy Industry Foundation is honored to work with the Yankees on their HOPE Week initiative," says Jean Butler, executive director at the Toy Industry Foundation. "As part of our continuing goal to bring laughter, comfort, and the healing power of play to children in need, it was a joy to bring brand-new toys and a fun-filled day to these deserving kids, who have suffered through so much."
The Yankees' annual HOPE Week is "rooted in the fundamental belief that acts of goodwill provide hope and encouragement to more than just the recipient of the gesture." On each of five consecutive days during the celebration of HOPE Week, the initiative raises awareness about causes and charities worthy of recognition, and rewards honorees for their fortitude in the face of adversity.

The Greater Boston Chamber and the Boston Foundation Release Special Boston Indicators Report on Millennials in Greater Boston

BOSTON, May 25 -- The Boston Foundation issued the following news release:
A report from the Boston Foundation and the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce shows that Greater Boston's millennial population is more racially and ethnically diverse and more educated than any wave of young adults before, but that housing and economic mobility are persistent challenges impacting how this population experiences life in our region. The report, City of Millennials: Improving the Future Prospects of Our Region and Its Young Adults, provides an overview and analysis of trends among Greater Boston's youngadult population and examines key findings from a new survey of local millennials conducted by Boston Indicators and City Awake, a program of the Greater Boston Chamber. The goal of the report was to gain a baseline understanding of millennials' perceptions and challenges in order to guide future work addressing these concerns.
The report findings will be presented and discussed at a May 25 Forum at the Boston Foundation, with featured speakers including Luc Schuster, Director of Boston Indicators; Stas Gayshan of Cambridge Innovation Center; Jesse Kanson-Benanav of Somerville Community Corporation; Malia Lazu of Epicenter Community; Boston City Council President Michelle Wu; Justin Kang of City Awake; Stephen Chan of the Boston Foundation, and others.
"Engaging in efforts to improve upward mobility, to provide more and affordable housing options, and to provide better access to and reliability of public transportation for all who live and work in Greater Boston is crucial to the long term competitiveness of our region," said James E. Rooney, president & CEO, Greater Boston Chamber. "These are all top policy priorities for the Chamber and the business community. The positive news is that Greater Boston's millennials are committed to helping us overcome these challenges, and we're seeing tremendous engagement and contributions from this population, particularly those involved with our City Awake program."
"Our future prosperity depends in no small part on our ability to support our millennial population," said Boston Foundation President and CEO Paul S. Grogan. "At 35 percent, Boston has the largest share of millennials among all major U.S. cities. While our city is thriving in many ways, this survey of young adults in Boston surfaces some deep anxieties that merit focused civic attention; chief among them are concerns about rising housing costs and declining economic mobility."
The report's analysis of the region's young adult population shows that among the 25 most populous U.S. cities, Boston has the highest concentration of 20-34 year olds, and that in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville, this population grew much faster from 2000-2015 than the overall population in each of these cities.
The report also shows that Hispanic and Asian young adult populations in Boston grew more than 30 percent during that same time period, with more than 43 percent of the region's millennial population reporting as non-white or Hispanic.
Survey respondents overwhelmingly expressed concerns about access to safe and affordable housing, and many noted that they have struggled to find sufficient housing and/or meet housing payments. Despite these concerns, more than half of those surveyed hope to buy a home in the Greater Boston area. Steadily rising housing costs, however, have already forced more than 33 percent of respondents to move out of the area.
Based on survey results, respondents' concerns about economic mobility seems acutely tied to perceptions of unequal opportunity: More than 70 percent disagreed or strongly disagreed with the statement, "There are plenty of economic opportunities for people from every socioeconomic background." There were also significant differences in perceptions about this inequality among different ethnic and racial groups in the survey. In addition, a greater share of black and Hispanic millennials reported that they were unable to save, unable to meet housing payments, or had incomes that did not meet their needs, compared to white and Asian respondents to the survey.

Nearly One-Third of McDonald's Shareholders Support As You Sow Proposal to Phase Out Polystyrene Foam
OAK BROOK, IL., May 25 -- As You Sow Foundation issued the following news release:
31percent of McDonald's Corp. shareholders supported a proposal from As You Sow asking the company to phase out harmful expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam packaging globally, according to vote results announced at its annual meeting May 24.

OAK BROOK, IL., May 25 -- As You Sow Foundation issued the following news release:
31percent of McDonald's Corp. shareholders supported a proposal from As You Sow asking the company to phase out harmful expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam packaging globally, according to vote results announced at its annual meeting May 24. The vote far exceeds the average voting result of 20percent for social and environmental issue proposals.
McDonald's has phased out EPS foam beverage cups in the United States but continues to use them in foreign markets identified as having high levels of plastics depositiononto land and waterways including Hong Kong and parts of the Philippines. EPS foam used for coffee cups, takeout containers and packing materials, is rarely recycled. It is often swept into waterways and is one of the top items found in ocean beach cleanups.
"The company was concerned enough about the environmental impact of polystyrene 27 years ago to stop using clamshell EPS foam-based burger containers," said Conrad MacKerron, As You Sow Senior Vice President. "It's disconcerting that it did not follow through to fully remove polystyrene across its packaging system. This vote sends a signal to management that it's time to finish the job."
McDonald's phase out of foam burger containers in 1990 which, along with other changes in packaging, saved the company an estimated $6 million per year, and in the decade following these actions, helped the company reduce restaurant waste by 30 percent, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. As You Sow was a catalyst for McDonald's to phase out use of foam cups in the U.S. in 2013.
In April, As You Sow withdrew a shareholder proposal with Target Corp. asking the company to phase out EPS foam packaging in its e-commerce operations after it agreed to work with its value chain and industry peers to discuss replacing foam with less harmful alternatives.
15 major brands including Coca-Cola Co, Danone, Dow Chemical, L'Oreal, Marks & Spencer, Mars, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever recommended replacement of EPS foam as a packaging material in a report released in January by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has determined that styrene, used in the production of polystyrene, is a possible human carcinogen. EPS foam packaging materials break down into small indigestible pellets which animals mistake for food, resulting in death to birds, fish and other marine animals. Foam may also pose a higher risk to marine animals than other plastics; research indicates it can accumulate high concentrations of water borne toxins in a short time frame.
Nine countries and more than 100 U.S. cities or counties have banned or restricted foam packaging.

WASHINGTON, May 25 -- The National Italian American Foundation issued the following news release:
For the first time in five years, the rain held off, and the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) was able to hold its Fifth Annual Congressional Bocce Ball Tournament outdoors. The tournament, held in memory of former NIAF Board Member and Chair of the Foundation's Government Relations and Public Policy Committee Mark Valente, featured 10 teams of participants from NIAF, the Embassy of Italy, and the Italian American Congressional Delegation.
Venable LLP hosted the event at their MassachusettsAvenue location, on their gorgeous rooftop bocce court, with members of Congress from both sides of the aisle coming together to enjoy the much-beloved Italian game. Valente, who served in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, before starting DC lobbying firm Valente & Associates, came up with the idea for the tournament.
"Unfortunately, Mark could not be here with us, but his spirit is here. This is an event that he cared deeply about and it's another manifestation of our heritage," said John F. Calvelli, NIAF vice-chair and co-chair of the Foundation's government relations and public policy committee.
"We kind of forget that bocce is who we are. It's one of the sports that we created and I think on many levels, it's kind of interesting to literally be on top of one of the most beautiful buildings in Washington, D.C. looking out at the Washington monument and playing a game of bocce."
The victorious team at the end of the competitive tournament was father-son duo Sam and Jon Vitale, of Maryland-based Corporate Document Solutions, with the Embassy of Italy team coming in a close second.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.) stopped by for the event, a favorite of hers, telling media she was very proud of her Italian heritage, with her grandparents emigrating from Italy in the early 1900s and settling in New York.
Also at the event were Andrew Giuliani, son of former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Public Liaison Assistant to President Trump; Mauricio Greganti, deputy chief of mission at the Embassy of Italy; Robert E. Carlucci, NIAF vice-chair; Anita Bevacqua McBride, NIAF Board member and co-chair of the Foundation's government relations and public policy committee; Louis Tosi, NIAF Board member; and Joseph D. Lonardo, NIAF Board member and NIAF general counsel.

LONDON, May 25 -- The United Nations Foundation issued the following news release:
Just before Father's Day, hundreds of advocates, celebrities, global leaders, and families from all walks of life will gather on 15 June, 2017, in London to share ideas, exchange best practices, and inspire action for a healthy planet and happy families.
Following the incredible success of Moms +SocialGood and Dads +SocialGood, the first-ever Families +SocialGood is a one-day event focused on the power of families to create a better future for themselves and their communities. Hosted by the UN Foundation andJohnson & Johnson, and supported by BabyCenter, Global Citizen, Fatherly, and Charity Miles, the event is a major milestone in the quest to empower mothers, fathers, and families to work together toward a healthier future for all.
Through livestreamed panel discussions and fireside chats, and an online global conversation, Families +SocialGood will also explore the role of social media and philanthropy in boosting the wellbeing of families.
The world is confronting pressing global challenges:
* We are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the end of World War II. Over 128 million people are in need of humanitarian aid and natural disaster response, including food, shelter, and health care.
* Climate change poses an increasingly looming threat to the physical and mental health of families, their economic opportunities, and their livelihoods.
* Non-communicable diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and diabetes are on the rise and result in 70 percent of the world's deaths.
* While the world is closer than ever to eradicating polio, infectious diseases such as Ebola, Zika, measles, and influenza still threaten communities. Resources, innovation, and international cooperation are needed to eliminate them.
The effects of these global challenges can be felt from the United Kingdom to countries around the world, and families are on the front lines of solutions for these pressing issues to build a better future for all.
Hosted at The Brewery, Families +SocialGood will highlight these critical challenges and offer solutions from hundreds of passionate advocates and leaders striving for change. The event will culminate in a screening of Unseen Enemy, CNN's award winning documentary about the front lines of the fight against epidemics such as Ebola and Zika.
"In this critical time, there is nothing more important than working together to ensure our families and communities are more resilient," said Kathy Calvin, President & CEO of the UN Foundation. "Because of the support of Johnson & Johnson, anyone can tune into this important conversation and hear the latest groundbreaking ideas and innovative solutions on how we can create lasting global change."
"At Johnson & Johnson, we believe that health is at the heart of human progress," said Michael Sneed, Worldwide Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs & Chief Communication Officer of Johnson & Johnson. "Through our decades of experience working with partners on-the-ground to address critical issues, we know that engaging and educating families is key to building healthy generations. These experiences led us to create Families +SocialGood. It's an opportunity to rally the world together to help make a real impact."
Families +SocialGood builds on a movement that has reached over 100 million people in six of seven continents over the last five years, and it will leverage the power of social media to connect these passionate experts, advocates and parents with others around the world, making it a truly global event. It is the last in a series of three livestreamed events in 2017 including Moms +SocialGood on 4 May and Dads +SocialGood on 13 June in New York, and concludes the Global Moms Relay, a six-week long digital storytelling and fundraising campaign that celebrates the lifesaving work of Girl Up, UNICEF USA, UNFPA, Shot@Life, and Nothing But Nets.
