Tuesday’s action outside the 6th annual Evercore ISI HealthCONx Conference is the latest in a series of escalating efforts by AHF to draw attention to Gilead’s quiet campaign to undermine safety net providers and illegally restrict access to lifesaving HIV and Hepatitis C treatments.
Since 2021, AHF has been taking on Gilead Sciences and CEO Daniel O’Day, holding more than two dozen protests in multiple cities, including Washington, DC; Miami; Boston; and Foster City, CA, at the drugmaker’s corporate headquarters. AHF also has published full page ads in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Daily Record in New Jersey near Gilead’s new East Coast facilities and posted online at Gilead.org.
