AIDS Walk New York

AIDS Walk New York

This legendary event, born in 1986 from the collective anguish and resilience of gay men in neighborhoods ranging from Greenwich Village to Harlem, has become a powerful force in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

AIDS Walk New York is fueled by the passion of New York City's diverse communities, encompassing art, culture, and commerce. It's a testament to the strength and determination of those who have been ravaged by the early HIV epidemic. But it doesn't stop there—this walk is about more than just combatting the virus. It's a call to address the social injustices that fuel HIV/AIDS, including racism, sexism, homophobia, and poverty.
