Advocacy Work
At the start of the HIV epidemic, AIDS activists mobilized to advocate for funding, equality, and the basic dignity of our lives. They took to the streets, went to the halls of Congress, and made noise and change everywhere in between.
Inspired by their legacy, we partner with community activists throughout Minnesota to advocate loudly for policies that will save lives and benefit us all.
Our advocacy areas include…
- HIV care and prevention
- Housing
- Social justice
- Harm reduction
- HIV and aging
- Intersectional solidarity
If we don’t stop this massive attack on HIV prevention, there will be a resurgence of this preventable disease, many people will become unnecessarily sick, and it will result in millions of dollars in costs to taxpayers.

The fight to end HIV isn’t over, and we must not let funding cuts set us back. Stand with us and demand that Congress protects the programs that save lives and help us End HIV.
“As a young queer person, I value sharing space with Queer Elders here. Outside of work, there can be a disconnect between younger queer folks and older generations, however Aliveness provides us all with the space to share our stories, learn our shared history, and exchange the inherent wisdom that comes with living a lifetime of struggle and stigma.”

Let's End HIV
Our mission is simple: to provide essential support to our community and put an end to HIV.
We do this through free prevention and care services to thousands of Minnesotans living with and at risk for HIV. We’ve let that vision drive us for nearly 40 years, and we won’t stop until the HIV epidemic is ended.
