My cousin was violently killed in Beaumont, Texas, and because the police say drugs were involved I’m sure it will hurt her fundraiser. But my cousin was a beautiful, young father of three beautiful girls. Please help: gofund.me/8f5b6b167

Join us with Housing Works, VOCAL NY, ACT UP, NYC AIDS Memorial, Harlem United, Amida Care, and the Center for Popular Democracy December 1, 2025 NYC AIDS Memorial Greenwich Ave & W 12th St Annual World AIDS Day observance and the Reading of the Names—honoring those we've lost to HIV/AIDS.

La celebración anual del Día Mundial del SIDA y Lectura de los Nombres, en honor a aquellxs que hemos perdido a causa del VIH/SIDA.

ESTE Día Mundial del SIDA no es sólo un momento de recuerdo: ¡es un grito de guerra! Este año, nos levantamos en resistencia contra un gobierno que está borrando décadas de progreso logrado con tanto esfuerzo. Poner fin a la epidemia de VIH/SIDA no se debe a que carezcamos de soluciones, sino a que las fallas sistémicas (falta de vivienda, racismo, injusticia económica y estigma) continúan negando a nuestras comunidades la atención y la dignidad que merecen. Estas no son sólo barreras: son actos de negligencia.

Invest in Our New York @investinourny.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

We're shocked –– shocked we tell you! –– that @nyscomptroller.bsky.social found that the Federal Budget Scam hurts working-class New Yorkers while benefiting the ridiculously rich. Anyone else think it's time for a special session to #TaxTheRich?

Earlier today, State Comptroller DiNapoli released a report analyzing the impact that the Federal Budget Scam’s tax cut extensions will have on New Yorkers. This report comes on the heels of an analysis by the Fiscal Policy Institute that confirms New York’s growing economic inequality. Below is a statement from Erica Vladimer, communications coordinator for the Invest in Our New York Campaign, in response to the Comptroller’s report:

“The analysis from Comptroller DiNapoli confirms what we already knew: The federal budget scam will move billions of dollars into the pockets of the richest New Yorkers, including the 130 billionaires who call New York home, while hurting working-class people in our state.

"Congressional Republicans passed a budget that cut our safety net programs and increased burdens on working-class people, all to pay for tax breaks for the rich. It is not enough for state lawmakers to criticize the federal government; they must also take action to protect New Yorkers.

“Governor Hochul, Leader Stewart-Cousins, and Speaker Heastie must convene a special session, make the super wealthy and highly profitable corporations pay their fair share, and invest those new public dollars in keeping our healthcare whole and making New York affordable for everyone.

“As Comptroller DiNapoli’s report makes clear, the federal budget scam ‘further skews tax benefits to individuals and businesses at higher income’ and will ‘put a heavier burden on working-class New Yorkers trying to make ends meet.’ New York’s millionaires and billionaires can afford to pay what they owe in taxes.”

Visual AIDS |

Upcoming Event
Harm Reduction Today: Needle Exchange, Abolition, and Sex Parties, Oh MY!!

MoMA PS1
Date:
Saturday, September 27, 2025 from 4:00pm–5:30pm
https://share.google/bgHD3QtcgzUWf9v20

In tandem with Love Rules: The Harm Reduction Archives of Heather Edney and Richard Berkowitz, our current exhibition at MoMA PS1, Visual AIDS presents a conversation exploring the landscape of harm reduction today — from Mpox, PrEP, and sex parties to Narcan, fentanyl, and the enduring value of community-based outreach efforts.

Tickets are not required to attend. MoMA PS1 is free for all New Yorkers.

Following the tradition of safe sex and safer drug use practices championed by harm reduction activists such as Heathey Edney and Richard Berkowitz, this program will bring together three individuals applying harm reduction strategies in their work. Harm reductionist Tamara Oyola-Santiago, co-founder of Bronx Móvil, will recount her work as a public health educator implementing syringe exchange programs. Organizer Jawanza James Williams, of VOCAL-NY, will discuss harm reduction as it intersects with housing justice and abolition. Filmmaker/curator Adam Baran, co-producer of HOW TO HAVE SEX IN A PANDEMIC and an organizer of monthly sex parties in Brooklyn, will share practices to support collective sexual health care. This panel will celebrate the final weeks of Love Rules by reflecting on what has and hasn't changed since the early days of safe sex and safe injection practices.

Following the discussion, visitors are welcome to explore the exhibition and converse with the panelists.

Love Rules: The Harm Reduction Archives of Heather Edney and Richard Berkowitz is on view at MoMA PS1 from April 24 to October 6.

Today marks 80 yrs since the United States dropped the first of two atomic bombs on Hiroshima, Japan. Instantly incinerating ~80,000 people. Thousands more died later. Nukes have got to go. We couldn’t afford the first bombing, nor the second. If another drops, it will be annihilation.

The so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” is indeed a concentration camp. We should be calling it exactly what it is. The facilities are inadequate. It’s built for a politically persecuted set of groups (immigrants/migrants of color) and “alligator” refers to homicidal intent. G E N O C I D E!
