You are invited to join us on Sunday, June 28th for the 2026 Pride Health Fair: MONEY FOR AIDS + HEALTHCARE — NOT FOR ICE + WARFARE
U.S. taxpayers demand an end to government funding for ICE and warfare. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has made historic cuts to healthcare, slashing over $1 trillion from Medicaid, $500 billion from Medicare, and more than $20 billion from research funding, while simultaneously advancing a proposed $1.5 trillion military budget and more than $75 billion to expand ICE operations.
For LGBTQIA+ communities, immigrants, people living with HIV/AIDS, and marginalized communities, the diversion of public resources away from care and toward punishment, violence, and war is not new.
In 1991, ACT UP’s Day of Desperation protests declared: “MONEY FOR AIDS, NOT FOR WARFARE.” Thirty-five years later, as healthcare, science, immigrant communities, and human rights continue to be attacked, the demand is no longer symbolic — it is an urgent call for survival.
This year marks our 6th Annual Pride Health Fair — a necessary act of political resistance in response to escalating attacks on healthcare, science, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ communities, and human dignity.
We are bringing together hospital systems, clinics, researchers, legal advocates, mutual aid groups, and community organizations to provide direct services to LGBTQIA+ communities during Pride.
As healthcare becomes increasingly inaccessible and unaffordable, this event remains a vital opportunity to provide care while building solidarity and community power.
We invite your organization to join us and share what you can offer the community this Pride season, including:
• On-site testing and vaccinations
• HIV/STI services
• Provider consultations
• Affordable healthcare navigation
• Harm reduction resources
• Mental health support
• Housing support
• Legal services for immigrants and vulnerable communities
• Research and science outreach
• Community education and advocacy

Tables and chairs will be provided. Each table measures 72″ x 29″ x 29″ and includes four chairs for your team and materials. You are also welcome to bring testing tents and additional outreach setups.
If you are interested in participating, please send us your organization logo so we can begin including you in outreach and social media materials.
We would also be happy to schedule a call to discuss logistics and collaboration. Once confirmed, we will send a participant form so your organization and services can be included in promotional materials and community outreach.
This is not just another event — it is an act of political resistance, mutual care, public health advocacy, survival, and collective community power.
Come and organize with us and help defend human dignity, healthcare, and the survival of our communities at the 2026 Pride Health Fair.
