Grove 35: Legacy and Lessons from 35 Years of the National AIDS Memorial Grove
From the beginning, the National AIDS Memorial Grove has fostered community in a space of healing, strength, resilience, and belonging. It is proof that in each other we find hope.
The Grove 35 Campaign serves as both a celebration and a call to action, reaffirming the Grove’s purpose as a sanctuary of remembrance, healing, hope, and teaching. It is an affirmation to everyone that the Grove remains a place to gather, remember the lives cut short (many of whom had been erased or ignored because of stigma), and find inspiration to keep building a more just and healthy society.
