Urvashi Vaid (she/her) was born in New Delhi, India in 1958 but soon moved to Potsdam, New York. Later in life, Urvashi would reflect on the fact that her "otherness" while growing up in America heavily influenced her activism.

Her advocacy started early in life. At only age 11, she already began participating in anti-war marches and would go on to become a prolific organizer during her undergraduate at Vassar and law school studies at Northeastern. She co-founded a number of feminist and anti-violence community organizations and was a key speaker at the 1993 March on Washington For Le***an, Gay and Bi Equal Rights.

Urvashi is also known for her time at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), where she worked to improve conditions in the prison system, particularly for those impacted by HIV and AIDS. She also worked with many other organizations, including the National LGBTQ Task Force, where she co-founded the Creating Change Conference, which continues to gather annually.

Urvashi passed away in 2022 from cancer, but her legacy lives on in the programs and policies she fought for and the movement for intersectional justice for all.

Today is Awareness Day.

Through groundbreaking scientific advancements in HIV treatment and prevention, including the introduction of long-acting injectables, we know that Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) and that is 99% effective in preventing HIV.

Still, in 2026, HIV criminalization laws persist across 32 states in the US and today we say, enough is enough.

As former Congressmember Barbara Lee says, "HIV criminalization laws are based on bias, not science. Instead of making our communities healthier, these laws breed fear, discrimination, distrust, and hatred."

We know these dated policies are ineffective, assist stigma and harm communities already disproportionately impacted by the AIDS epidemic.

Together, let's recommit to saying NO to HIV criminalization and ensuring greater protections for people living HIV.

For this final week's bio, we're chatting about Kiara St. James and the New York Transgender Advocacy Group (NYTAG)!

NYTAG is a grassroots, trans-led organization advocating for inclusive gender-based policies for trans and nonbinary communities. They aim to create an equitable society for all by empowering individuals, educating providers and communities and influencing legislation and policy. We're proud to work alongside incredible thinkers and leaders at NYTAG when we advocate for equitable, gender-inclusive policies across New York State! Learn more about them at: nytag.org

Kiara St. James (she/her) is the founder and executive director of NYTAG. From tackling discriminatory shelter policies to presenting at international conferences about the needs of marginalized communities, St. James' work is deeply informed by her own intersectional identity as a Black trans woman. In 2019, she was instrumental in the passage of the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), which added gender identity and expression as protected classes to New York State's human rights and hate crimes laws.

Please share the love for all that NYTAG and Kiara St. James have done for our communities!
