Rep. Mark Pocan, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Wisconsin's 2nd district, has been active on social media discussing key issues concerning public health and education. Known for his advocacy work, particularly in the realm of HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, Pocan continues to emphasize the importance of funding and support for vulnerable communities.
On March 20, 2025, Rep. Mark Pocan tweeted about National Native HIV & AIDS Awareness Day: "As Chair of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus, I join my colleagues in recognizing today as National Native HIV & AIDS Awareness Day. I will always fight to protect critical HIV & AIDS funding, especially for communities that are disproportionately affected."
Later that day, he addressed potential budget cuts to education: "Let’s be clear: Slashing the Department of Education will lead to cuts in every school district in America!" This statement reflects his stance on maintaining educational resources across the country.
In another tweet from March 20, 2025, Rep. Pocan marked a significant milestone in medical history: "38 years ago today, the Food & Drug Administration approved the first drug for HIV, AZT, saving countless lives. Gutting funding for HIV & AIDS prevention will lead to a rise in HIV cases, more babies born with it, and more lives lost." As Chair of the Congressional HIV/AIDS Caucus, he highlights the consequences of reducing funds dedicated to combating this disease.
