African Services Committee was proud to join this year’s AIDS Walk New York with members of our FAB community, staff, supporters, and partners standing together in solidarity and hope. 💛💚

Yesterday’s walk was a powerful reminder that the fight against HIV/AIDS continues — and that community leadership, compassion, and advocacy remain essential in ensuring everyone has access to care, support, and dignity.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who walked alongside us, donated, encouraged our team, and helped amplify the importance of this work. Your support strengthens our mission to serve immigrant and underserved communities affected by HIV/AIDS and health inequities across New York City.

Together, we keep moving forward.
