Advocacy is in the DNA of the AIDS response. Today’s activists stand on the shoulders of courageous pioneers in the fight against HIV—who were themselves strong advocates—and we are entirely dedicated to continuing that advocacy. That means we’re not only committed to responding to the HIV epidemic by investing in lifesaving prevention programs and assuring everyone has access to care, but that we’re also fighting for social justice and racial equity. Without those two things, we will never see the end of this epidemic.
