“The AIDS crisis is over.”
For more than 30 years, we’ve imagined those magical words. We’ve imagined that our friends and loved ones didn’t die in vain. We’ve imagined that somehow, we would learn how to stop the scourge of AIDS. Now, for the first time we don’t have to imagine any longer. We have the tools to end the AIDS crisis. With new tools and new political will – and the ongoing leadershi

And it’s not just New York: the United Nations has established 2030 as its target date to bring global infection rates below epidemic levels. These are real goals backed by real science. If achieved, they will change the course of history. But they will only happen with your help. Ending the AIDS crisis became an achievable goal because ordinary people had our AIDS leaders’ backs. Political leaders made it a priority to end the AIDS crisis because ordinary citizens were willing to stick their necks out and say, “This is where the ribbon meets the road.”
Ordinary people – people like you – took the lead in the fight against AIDS. Join us on September 12, 2021 to do your part to end the AIDS crisis. It’s your turn to step up and say:
“Follow me to the end of AIDS.”
