Love, Legacy, and Liberation: Ending HIV Stigma Together

Join us for an inspiring World AIDS Day celebration honoring the strength, resilience, and unity of our community. This year’s theme — “Love, Legacy, and Liberation: Ending HIV Stigma Together” — reminds us that the fight against HIV is not just about science and medicine, but about humanity, dignity, and collective empowerment.

Through storytelling, performances, and reflection, we will celebrate the love that sustains us, the legacy of those who paved the way, and the liberation that comes from ending stigma and embracing every person with compassion and respect.

Together, we will:
❤️ Honor the legacy of lives lost and leaders who have championed HIV awareness and equality.
🌿 Celebrate love in all its forms — self-love, community love, and love without judgment.
✊ Commit to liberation — breaking down barriers, uplifting voices, and creating a world free from stigma and discrimination.

This event will feature:

• Keynote speakers and advocates sharing personal stories and progress in the fight against HIV.
• Live performances and artistic tributes that celebrate resilience and hope.
• Community resource tables offering education, support, and testing information.
• A candlelight remembrance to honor those we have lost and reaffirm our commitment to ending HIV stigma.

Let’s come together in solidarity — to remember, to celebrate, and to keep pushing toward a world where everyone can live and love freely.

Together, we embody love, carry the legacy, and fight for liberation — because ending HIV stigma takes all of us.
