Join a coalition of longstanding AIDS service organizations, advocates, and allies for Together We Rise, the third annual World AIDS Day commemoration at Cathedral of Hope. The evening will honor the history of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, uplift community voices, and highlight the work yet to be done in ending the epidemic.
This year’s program includes a keynote panel, How We Heal, moderated by DR Hanson, with speakers representing both the early years of the crisis and the hope of current advancements. The event will feature a blessing by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, performances by Turtle Creek Chorale and the Women’s Chorus of Dallas, and remarks from State Representative Venton Jones. Attendees will also be able to visit tables hosted by partner organizations offering education, resources, and support.
Since 1988, communities across the world have gathered on World AIDS Day to show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember loved ones lost. All are invited to come together for an evening of reflection, learning, and community. Refreshments will be provided.
