About
The AIDS Memorial Garden built through the efforts of East Bay Getting to Zero will honor the lives lost from the HIV epidemic to ensure that we never lose sight of the foundation on which East Bay Getting to Zero’s collaborative work is built.

The purpose of the AIDS Memorial Garden is to memorialize those lost to HIV/AIDS and serve as a community healing space for people in the East Bay who have been significantly impacted by HIV, including surviving family members and friends.
The vision for our garden is to become a space for all generations to learn the history of the HIV epidemic and honor the hard-fought successes of their forebears.
The East Bay does not currently have an AIDS memorial garden or other public physical space dedicated to honoring those lost to HIV and the resilience of survivors. Your donations will help build the garden sanctuary as we continue our fight to end stigma and the HIV epidemic.
