National AIDS Memorial World AIDS Day Observance
What is the world aids day national observance?
Each year on December 1st, our community gathers to remember those lost, educate others, and rally to eliminate the devastating stigma and loss associated with the ongoing AIDS crisis.
As our country’s only federally designated memorial for AIDS, the National AIDS Memorial hosts a pivotal observance each year to recognize this internationally dedicated day. Join us in the Grove on Sunday, December 1st as we gather to heal, hope, and remember.
HOW ARE WE RECOGNIZING WORLD AIDS DAY IN 2024?
By sparking powerful conversations, the National AIDS Memorial will highlight the pressing issues impacting the AIDS crisis today. By sharing the story of the struggle against HIV/AIDS, we fight against stigma, denial, and hate for a just future.
Headlining these conversations is an intergenerational conversation that will bring forth the stories of HIV+ individuals of different ages. How is stigma still experienced today? What is the ongoing experience of long term survivors? What is the experience of young HIV+ individuals testing positive in the 2020s? These questions and more will be answered during this powerful conversation.
