In honor of World AIDS Day, join us for a look back at the AIDS crisis and the continuing battle against the disease. Dig deeper into the response to the AIDS epidemic in the Jewish community – and the changes over the 1980s and 90s. Hear from healthcare workers, activists, volunteers, and more for a meaningful evening of recollection and resilience. Includes access to LGBTJews in the Federal City. Come early to see the exhibit!

 

In partnership with Bet Mishpachah.

 

Our new Voices series uses storytelling to create opportunities for diverse Greater Washington area residents to examine and share their experiences.
