December 2nd is Giving Tuesday, a national opportunity to give back to the community organizations and nonprofits supporting people like us. Let's build a world that loves us back! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

CalPride is always happily taking donations. Visit calpride.org/donate to throw us a few dollars! 🩷

Wondering where your money will go if you decide to donate to CalPride? We've got you: CalPride uses donations from our communities and allies to support existing initiatives. This includes providing meals, sourcing weather appropriate clothing, and finding emergency shelter for our neighbors seeking food, warmth, and shelter. Whether you donate $1 or $100, every penny goes back to serving our community. Want your money to go to a specific program, service, or center? Let us know when you donate! 🏳️‍🌈

December 1st is World AIDS Day. Today is a day for memory, for advocacy, for grief, for community, for love. Together, we will honor our past and fight forward.

Knowing your status is key to preventing HIV. Get tested at least once a year, especially considering your lived experiences. You can get a rapid HIV test with same day results at CalPride’s three centers in Sonora, Modesto, and Merced. Want to learn more about PrEP? We can help with that, too.

A positive HIV diagnosis isn’t a death sentence. It is not the end. People with HIV can live long, healthy lives with the proper treatment. Keeping your viral load low is key to preventing transmission. Remember folks: U=U (undetectable = untransmittable)

We deserve culturally competent, trauma informed, and compassionate care. Marginalized communities are disproportionately impacted by HIV because of stigma, misinformation, and systemic neglect. It is still happening. Advocate for better care for us, with us.

Know your status, California 🏳️‍🌈🖤
