About us
Learn more about our Change The Pattern initiative to reimagine the fight to end HIV in the South. Just one of our programs at the National AIDS Memorial to ensure that the lives of people who died from AIDS are not forgotten and the story of AIDS is known by future generations - so that never again will a community be harmed because of fear, silence, discrimination, or stigma. Today, the history and lessons of AIDS are at the core of all of the programs and work of the National AIDS Memorial. The Grove now includes thousands of names inscribed within the ten acre memorial within the Circle of Friends, Hemophilia circle, Artists portal and on boulders and benches throughout its beautiful landscape. Thousands of volunteers have given more than 225,000 hours of their time to maintain the grounds and ensure it is preserved as a living memorial. The AIDS Memorial Quilt is now under the stewardship of the National AIDS Memorial, ensuring that this powerful symbol of AIDS and activism can be used to educate people around the world about a devasting time in our nation’s history. Within each of the Quilt’s nearly 50,000 panels are sewn the names of more than 105,000 lives lost to AIDS. Each year, thousands of panels of the Quilt are displayed throughout the U.S. and world. Through unique storytelling programs, like Surviving Voices and Q&AIDS, the National AIDS Memorial both ensures that the vast, diverse stories of surviving voices from the crisis years are captured and curated and documents how people from different generations have experienced and been affected by HIV/AIDS, encouraging communication between them. Our work is also helping inspire and develop the next generation of leaders, through the Pedro Zamora Young Leaders Scholarship and Mary Bowman Arts in Activism Award. The National AIDS Memorial relies solely on funding from personal donors and corporate partners to support its mission and programs.

Thank you to our friends at ABC 7 Chicago for including us in a collection of stories about #LGBTQ+ perseverance! The ABC7 team joined us at a workday with Acrisure and Travelers Insurance to film a piece for their "Our America: Pride in History 4" collection. "Understanding where we come from and where we've been is an important part of telling the human story. For LGBTQ+ people, those stories are often lost to time because of stigma, fear and shame."

"There exists an international citizenry that has its rights, and has its duties, and that is committed to rise up against every abuse of power, no matter who the author, no matter who the victims," Michel Foucault A victim of France's legal and social prejudice against homosexuality, Michel Foucault was a French philosopher who addressed topics such as power, sexuality and truth. Foucault's works are still taught today, and his story is still remembered today through #AIDSQuilt panels like these. Today, we remember Foucault on what would have been his birthday. 🗣️ Say Michel Foucault's name! #Philosophy #Philosopher #Foucault #SocialJustice #HealthJustice #EndHIVStigma #StopHIV #GetTested #Healthcare

🏳️🌈 If you could advise someone thinking about coming out of the closet, what would you say? Today is #NationalComingOutDay, a day recognized on October 11th annually to support those coming out of the closet. At the #NationalIAIDSMemorial, we stand by those in the #LGBTQ+ community who consistently confront the fear, silence, discrimination, and stigma. We strive to break down that stigma and make coming out easier for the next generation. #LoveIsLove #LGBTQ+ #Pride #PrideCommunity #AIDSAwareness

"A crowd of 1,500 gathers silently on the outside edge of the white fabric gridwork... reading the roll call of names." On October, 11th 1987, the #AIDSQuilt came to the forefront of national attention when it was displayed on the National Mall. The magnificent display covered a space larger than a football field and included 1,920 panels honoring lives lost to #AIDS that underscored the emotional toll of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Never again.
