"John Cunningham The National AIDS Memorial celebrates Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi-a true friend, ally, and champion to all those touched by HIV/AIDS. Our appreciation for her decades-long support of both the National AIDS Memorial Grove & the AIDS Memorial Quilt cannot be overstated. Were it not for her visionary leadership and perseverance, there would likely not be a National AIDS Memorial."
"From the earliest days of AIDS, when fear and stigma prevented others in power from confronting this deadly new disease, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi stood firmly with our community-demanding action. She has never stopped, and her care of the AIDS community has left an indelible mark on both our nation's consciousness and on the AIDS memorials that bear witness to the devastation she fought against."
"As she retires from Congress, we express our profound gratitude to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi for her decades of unwavering commitment to the HIV/AIDS community-for her humanity. Her legacy is one of compassion, love, justice, and fierce determination to ending HIV/AIDS while honoring every life touched by it. She will always be our friend, hero, and greatest champion! It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to work alongside Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi-to be inspired by her love of community, her strength,"
Nancy Pelosi provided early, courageous advocacy for people with HIV/AIDS when fear and stigma kept many in power silent, demanding funding for care and research and giving voice to the voiceless. Her visionary leadership and perseverance were instrumental in establishing and sustaining the National AIDS Memorial, the National AIDS Memorial Grove, and the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Her consistent care for the AIDS community left an indelible mark on the nation's consciousness and memorial spaces. Upon retiring from Congress, profound gratitude is expressed for her decades of unwavering commitment, humanity, and a legacy of compassion, justice, and fierce determination to end HIV/AIDS.
