Black-Led and Black-Principled Organizations Across the Diaspora Reaffirm Commitment to National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
February 7-National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day
On February 7, Black-led and Black-principled organizations across the diaspora observe National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD) with renewed resolve, clarity, and collective leadership. This observance is not symbolic-it is a declaration of responsibility, accountability, and action.
As organizations grounded in Black leadership and Black-principled practice, we are issuing this joint statement as a public commitment to move National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day forward with intention, integrity, and accountability. We affirm our leadership in shaping the observance-not as a static moment, but as a living, evolving movement rooted in Black liberation.
We recognize that being Black-led does not automatically mean being Black-serving or advancing a Black agenda. This work requires an explicit commitment to centering Black people-our lived experiences, needs, knowledge, and solutions. Being Blackprincipled reflects a shared responsibility to ensure that National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day remains accountable to Black communities most impacted by HIV, systemic inequities, and structural violence.
Together, we commit to:
- Sustaining and strengthening National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day through Black-led and Black-principled leadership
- Establishing an annual, community-driven theme that reflects current realities and priorities
- Centering Black communities across the global diaspora, recognizing that HIV does not respect borders and neither does Black resilience
- Defending access to care, dignity, and safety for those most impacted by HIV and intersecting systems of harm This statement also names the moment we are in.
We unequivocally stand against the escalating attacks on immigrants, including immigrants of African descent, whose lives and access to health care are increasingly criminalized and threatened. We also stand firmly with transgender people, who are integral members of Black communities and who continue to face targeted violence, discrimination, and barriers to care. These attacks are not separate from the HIV epidemic-they are drivers of it.
Silence is not neutrality. Silence is complicity. Solidarity is our responsibility.
This joint press release is also a visual and political declaration of unity. The inclusion of logos from participating organizations represents collective power, shared values, and a refusal to allow this observance-or our communities-to be fragmented or erased.
National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day must remain grounded in truth, led by those closest to the impact, and responsive to the realities Black people are living right now.
This moment calls for alignment, courage, and a collective voice. By standing together publicly, we protect the legacy of National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and model the future we are building-one rooted in justice, love, global solidarity, and Black liberation. Black lives are not expendable. Black leadership is not optional. And National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day will move forward-together.
