ABOUT NAM
ABOUT NAM
The National AIDS Memorial is the steward of The AIDS Memorial Quilt, started over 30 years ago as a way to bring attention to the AIDS crisis and honor loved ones lost to the disease. The Quilt now includes over 50K panels and honors more than 105K men, women, transgender and non-binary people who died from AIDS. NAM works to ensure that the lives of people who died from AIDS are not forgotten and the story of AIDS is known by future generations, so that never again will a community be harmed because of fear, silence, discrimination, or stigma.
ABOUT CHANGE THE PATTERN
