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.

🌳 The beating heart of the #NationalAIDSMemorial Grove, today would have been Jack Porter's birthday. Jack was the historian of the Memorial, visiting it several times a week and helping care for it and the Circle of Friends, where he would collect mementos left by others in the memory of loved ones lost to #HIV and #AIDS. Jack’s dedication to the Memorial was also a testament to his love for his former partner, Stephen Marcus, who’s name is engraved in the Circle of Friends.
