Today is National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day ( ), a reminder that healing is collective—and so is our action.

Native and indigenous communities face some of the highest barriers to primary care, including HIV testing, treatment and support. But that ends with us. We must advocate for an equitable healthcare system that sees all of us holistically and cares for everyone compassionately.

The National Native HIV Network has organized NNHAAD on the first day of spring every year since 2007. This indigenous-led initiative mobilizes American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities affected by HIV through peer-to-peer and programmatic support, training, and capacity building assistance. You can learn more about their work at nnhn.org/

You can also do your part by getting educated and getting tested. Head to callen-lorde.org/SexualHealth to learn more. And talk to your community because breaking down the stigma around care is the first step in a system that works better for all of us.

Edie Windsor (she/her) was an LGBTQ+ and women's rights activist, best known as the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case which successfully overturned Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act.

Edie was born in Philadelphia and grew up in a Russian Jewish immigrant family. Despite the financial hardships and discrimination, Edie flourished academically, went on to study at multiple prestige institutions and joined IBM as one of their first woman computer scientists. During her 16 years at the company, she was known for her prodigious skills and as a trailblazer for women in the field.

During this time, Edie met Thea Spyer, a psychologist, and the two began dating in secret. In 1967, Thea proposed to Edie with a diamond pin rather than a ring to continue keeping their relationship discrete.

Edie eventually left IBM and increased her advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights. In particular, she used her skills to help LGBTQ+ organizations become more technological proficient and update their computer systems. At the same time, Thea's health began declining, and the two entered a domestic partnership in New York and got married in Canada. Sadly, when Thea passed away in 2009, federal law did not recognize the validity of their marriage. This court dispute became the SCOTUS case considered to be a landmark legal victory for the same-sex marriage movement.

In life, Edie was a close friend and supporter of Callen-Lorde, helping to advocate for equitable healthcare. To this end, she generously supported the opening of our Thea Spyer Center for Behavioral Health, with the goal of ensuring her late partner's legacy of caring for patients would live on. Edie was also a past recipient of the Community Health Award. Even though she passed away in 2017, her life and work continue to be celebrated by advocates at Callen-Lorde, in New York City and beyond.

Kia LaBeija (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller born and raised in New York City. Diagnosed with at age three through mother-to-child transmission, she lost her mother to AIDS-related illness at fourteen. Rather than silence her story, she transformed it into art.

Her celebrated photography series, 24, is a sociopolitical commentary on growing up as a young woman of color living with HIV, weaving together glamor, grief and resilience. As a Black and Filipina q***r woman, she uses her art to center those too often erased from history.

A powerhouse in New York's ballroom scene, Kia has been walking since 2012, and in 2017 she made Overall Mother of the Royal House of LaBeija, although she has since stepped down.

Kia LaBeija isn't afraid to take up space, especially when it also makes room for other q***r women of color to be seen, heard and celebrated.

Today is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day ( ), and we want to take a moment to remember Hydeia Broadbent (she/her) and her impact on the movement.

Hydeia was born HIV-positive, and doctors predicted she would not survive past age five. But she outlived that prognosis by over three decades and used each of those years to fight for those most impacted by and .

She began her work as an activist and public speaker at just six years old, and her platform grew rapidly. She advocated for the dignity of all people affected by HIV and AIDS, especially those overlooked by the public and medical system, like women and girls. She shaped the global response to the epidemic by speaking plainly about the realities of living with HIV, including navigating insurance and managing daily medications.

Hydeia passed away on February 20, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of radical honesty, resilience and hope. Today, we remember her bravery, compassion and commitment to ending the AIDS epidemics.

Urvashi Vaid (she/her) was born in New Delhi, India in 1958 but soon moved to Potsdam, New York. Later in life, Urvashi would reflect on the fact that her "otherness" while growing up in America heavily influenced her activism.

Her advocacy started early in life. At only age 11, she already began participating in anti-war marches and would go on to become a prolific organizer during her undergraduate at Vassar and law school studies at Northeastern. She co-founded a number of feminist and anti-violence community organizations and was a key speaker at the 1993 March on Washington For Le***an, Gay and Bi Equal Rights.

Urvashi is also known for her time at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), where she worked to improve conditions in the prison system, particularly for those impacted by HIV and AIDS. She also worked with many other organizations, including the National LGBTQ Task Force, where she co-founded the Creating Change Conference, which continues to gather annually.

Urvashi passed away in 2022 from cancer, but her legacy lives on in the programs and policies she fought for and the movement for intersectional justice for all.
