Michael Weinstein co-founded AHF in 1987 in Los Angeles as AIDS Hospice Foundation to provide a caring, dignified death for those treated like lepers during the AIDS Crisis. He built the healthcare agency into an award-winning $3 billion nonprofit with 10,000 employees serving 3 million patients in 50 countries, including war-torn Ukraine and earthquake-ravaged Venezuela. Here we talk about politics, his long association with Sen. Bernie Sanders, his disputes with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on housing, and his fight to restore AIDS funding in Florida. A senior, married gay man who still gets goosebumps driving by the Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial, Weinstein says, “It’s up to us individually and collectively to bring out the best in us.”
