She didn’t have to struggle alone.

Because of community, she was able to access care, support, and dignity.

This Giving Tuesday, your generosity makes that possible for the next woman, too.

Power shouldn’t be a privilege.

Every woman deserves the right to rest, to heal, to choose, and to thrive.

As Giving Tuesday approaches, we’re standing together for autonomy and wellness — for every woman.

"When you eliminate health coverage, erase data, criminalize survival, and ban health care, you don't need a law to say trans people should not exist ― the systems themselves make our survival impossible."

Co-Chair; US PLHIV Caucus

We will never leave our trans siblings behind.

"I don't disclose to everyone, and I don't disclose all the time. But when I do, I see it as a sacred act."

There is no shame in discussing your #HIV status. In an encouraging blog, NikNik shares how her gift of #disclosure is a powerful affirmation of who she is.

Disclosure Is My Gift to You
For twenty years, I have carried a truth within me: I am a Black woman living with HIV. That truth is not a burden, but a gift—though it took me many years to see it that way.
