About this event
  • Event lasts 2 hours

The AIDS crisis is not over. 


Each year on December 1st, our community gathers to remember those lost to HIV/AIDS, educate younger generations about the leadership and activism associated with this disease, and rally to eliminate the health, racial, and social inequities plaguing the ongoing epidemic. 

As our country’s only federally designated memorial for lives touched by AIDS, the National AIDS Memorial Grove 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, remember, and recommit.


By sparking powerful conversations, the National AIDS Memorial will highlight the pressing issues impacting HIV/AIDS today. By sharing the story of the struggle against HIV/AIDS, we fight against stigma, discrimination, denial, and hate, for a just future. RSVPs are not required, but recommended to stay up to date on the event!


Intergenerational Conversation


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 topics and more will be discussed during this powerful conversation.


Remembering National Leaders Lost to AIDS


We are honored to posthumously recognize Hydeia Broadbent with the National Leadership Recognition Award. After testing positive for HIV at the age of three, Hydeia became one of the most notable child activists of her generation. Broadbent continued to fight HIV/AIDS stigma until her death this past February at the young age of 39.  Hydeia’s father will accept her award on her behalf.


Recognizing Local Heroes


Spotlighting a leader in our community, we are honored to recognize Vince Crisostomo with the Thom Weyand Unsung Hero Award in recognition of his decades of advocacy. Vince has lived with HIV/AIDS for over 35 years, dedicating much of them to HIV and LGBTQ+ activism at international, regional, national, and grassroots levels.


Recognizing a Community Touched by HIV


“Dandelions” are individuals who acquired HIV at birth or when they were young children. Too often, Dandelions are overlooked in the context of the AIDS crisis, and face challenges unique to others impacted by HIV. We are honored to recognize Dandelions and dedicate a boulder to them on World AIDS Day.
