Reading & Resources

World AIDS Day is a Day to Heal our Grief

Each World AIDS Day, when I am able to join with my community and others and can take a break, acknowledge my loss, memorialize those losses and take action by marching or by dancing, I am healed a little bit more.

From crisis to community

Over 40 years, members of our community programs–including BBE and El Grupo–have gathered together to learn about HIV, support each other in times of crisis, and build communities built on empathy, compassion, and love.
