Trans people deserve more than just visibility—they deserve to live, to thrive, and to be celebrated every day.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we’re reminded that visibility is just the beginning, not the end of the movement for trans liberation.

Every day, trans people are asked to be visible, but too often are left unprotected. They celebrated in headlines but denied real support. They become stories, not priorities, and are forced to fight for their own survival.

We all deserve to live boldly, safely, and without fear—free from violence, shame, erasure, or abandonment.

Trans liberation is not just a day—it’s a year-round commitment. It means pushing for real policies, showing up for trans people in every room, protecting our community fiercely, and choosing care in moments both seen and unseen.

Trans lives aren’t up for debate.

Thank you today, tomorrow, and always for being exactly, unapologetically you.



We are available Mon.-Fri. 9 AM-7 PM, Sat 12PM to 4 PM

You may have had plans for a better and brighter year starting this month – except life happened. Things often don’t go the way we planned or even expected, and it can be difficult to not get discouraged or even want to give up. No matter what curveballs are thrown at you, remember that you’re human, and it’s OK to get frustrated, disappointed, and upset. The important thing is to continue on and always know that things will become better if you keep at it. You’re not alone in your struggles.

Si tienes riesgo de contraer mpox, vacúnate. Es importante recibir dos dosis para obtener la máxima protección, así que asegúrate de recibir la segunda dosis si aún no lo has hecho. No hay ninguna recomendación para una dosis de refuerzo (tercera dosis) en este momento.

As of 2024, there were 200 Native Americans living with diagnosed HIV in New York State, 87% of which were receiving care, and 79% who had achieved viral suppression. Viral suppression not only improves the health and well-being of people living with HIV but also reduces the risk of onward transmission.
Although care continuum data for Native Americans show promising trends, sustaining progress requires ongoing investment in culturally responsive, community-led care. Native communities continue to encounter challenges such as limited access to healthcare, stigma, and the lasting effects of historical trauma, all of which can influence health outcomes.

For more information about National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day and resources for Native communities, please visit the New York Indian Council website. This page offers additional context, educational materials, and ways to support awareness and prevention efforts.

This week (March 16–20, 2026), we’re proud to celebrate the 24th annual National LGBTQ Health Awareness Week. Our 2026 theme, “Organize to OUTlast,” is a rallying cry for our community and allies to unite, resist regressive policies, and champion LGBTQ health equity.

Despite ongoing challenges and system fragmentation, we are not just surviving—we’re thriving, innovating, and building powerful networks of care. When we organize, we outlast any attempt to erase our progress and identity.

How you can join us:

* Advocate: Demand LGBTQ health equity in your local communities and systems.
* Collaborate: Forge alliances that champion LGBTQ wellness and resilience.
* Persist: Together, we are built to OUTlast—today and every day.
